Okinawa Weather in June: What to Wear & Expect

June is when Okinawa switches from the rainy season to summer. Naha's high is 29.8°C, mornings are around 25°C, and it gets steadily more humid. Early and mid-June bring lots of rain, but in the Okinawa region the rainy season usually ends around June 21. Once it does, blue skies spread out and the best season for summer beaches begins. Right after the rainy season there are few typhoons and the weather tends to be settled, making it an ideal time to go.

Good to Know

Good to Know

Aim for just after the rainy season

From the end of the rainy season to early July, sunny spells tend to last and typhoons are relatively few. It's before the summer holidays, so prices are still moderate.

Watch out for habu jellyfish

From June to September, venomous habu jellyfish (box jellyfish) may appear. Swim at beaches with jellyfish nets.

Prevent heatstroke

The humidity is high and puts more strain on your body than the temperature alone suggests. Drink water often and rest in the shade.

Be ready for strong sun

UV in Okinawa's summer is very strong, and you can burn in a short time. Reapply sunscreen often.
