Naha in October

The Naha Great Tug-of-War is held in October; in 2026 it was held on October 11, as part of an October 10 to 12 festival. A huge rope is pulled from both sides, central roads close and roadside spots fill early. Typhoon risk has dropped and the sea is still warm.

It was a hot month: 28°C by day and 24°C after dark. The gap between day and night was just 5°C, so it felt much the same around the clock. About 10 days a month saw rain, enough that a wet-weather plan was worth having. The average is 10, but individual years ran from 4 (2007) to 16 (2011).

Highs passed 30°C on 4 days on average. Rain days averaged 21 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
