Sapporo in July

While the rest of Japan is sticky, Sapporo has its fewest wet days of the year, which is good for walking. Beer gardens open in Odori Park during the summer festival and change the feel of the evenings. The midday sun is strong, but shade stays comfortable.

Daytime highs averaged 26°C, with nights at 18°C. Comfortably warm without being punishing. Out of 31 days, about 7 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. The driest year, 2021, had 1 rain day; the wettest, 2009, had 12.

Long days, up to 15.3 hours of light, left room for a late stroll after dinner. Highs passed 30°C on 4 days on average. Not every year was typical: 2025 ran 4.3°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 30.3°C.

Typhoons i No tropical storm passed within 300 km in this month over the last 20 years. Typhoons: August to October
