2- Weather Adjectives in Japanese & More Weather Phrases
As you can see in the vocabulary chart below, there’s many ways to express “rain” in Japanese compared to other weather conditions. This is because Japan has a rainy season, and it also rains often throughout the year with different characteristics according to the season and weather conditions.
In addition, the sky is considered supernal and unreachable by humans according to Japanese tradition, and the weather is also thought to be controlled by supreme beings. For example, “lightning” in Japanese is Kaminari, and by adding the respectful honorific sama, we call the god of lightning Kaminari sama. Ancient people believed that when thunder roared in the sky, it meant the god of lightning was angry.

2- Seasons in Japan – General Information
春 (Haru) : Spring
Spring in Japan is from March to May. Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons to visit Japan.
When it comes to Japanese weather in spring, temperatures gradually increase to a moderate and comfortable level. Although it’s spring, March has mostly cold days, while May has many sunny days with a clear sky and warm—or sometimes hot—temperatures. April is the most amazing month as cherry blossoms bloom fully, bringing beautiful notice of spring throughout Japan. Weather in Japan in April is literally the symbol of Japanese spring.
In addition, spring is a season full of new meetings, events, and liveliness, because April is the beginning month of both the school year and the business year in Japan. As the temperature becomes warmer, people become more active and it’s considered a good season to start something new.
夏 (Natsu) : Summer
Summer in Japan is from June to August. It starts with the rainy season, called 梅雨 (Tsuyu) which is usually in June and July. During the rainy season, most days are heavily rainy and the amount of precipitation is at its highest point of the year.
The full-blown summer starts after the rain, and once temperatures go up as high as above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Japanese weather in summer, particularly in the months of July and August, can be quite uncomfortable due to hot temperatures and the high level of humidity. You can be standing in the shade, and still be sweating so much that you feel gross and sticky.
Summer heat makes people more energetic, making summer a season for many activities, and matsuri or Japanese festivals. Going to beaches, BBQing outside, fireworks, beer gardens, camping, and more, are popular summer activities in Japan.
秋 (Aki) : Autumn
Autumn, from September to November, is another beautiful season in Japan. Cooled down from the uncomfortable summer temperature, Japanese weather in autumn is pleasant. We have a word called 秋晴れ (akibare) which means “clear autumnal weather,” and most autumn days are delightfully sunny.
About 73% of the land in Japan is mountainous, and Japanese people appreciate the spectacular views of mountains which change colors in gradation of yellow, orange, and red. Visiting Kyoto in autumn will amaze you with views of traditional and historical buildings, surrounded by colorful nature. It’s just breathtaking.
Additionally, autumn is also the season of harvest and there’s a variety of tasty foods to indulge in during this time of year.
冬 (Fuyu) : Winter
Winter, from December to February, is a season of fun in Japan, especially if you like winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and skating. As for the Japanese weather in winter, the temperature in some of the northern and mountain regions go down below zero and it can get really cold. Mountains get a lot of snowfall.
Also, the Japanese onsen (hot springs) are essential in winter. They make you warm and relaxed after enjoying winter sports outside in the cold weather.
As an example of the weather in Tokyo, it’s quite rare to have snow in December. But when you research Japan weather in December, you’ll notice that northern regions already have snowy weather in December. Even though winter temperatures in Japan can get very cold, there are also many days of sunny weather in Tokyo.
3- Seasons in Japan – Information by Region
The land of Japan is stretching from the south to the north and the weather and climate vary according to regions.
The types of weather in Japanese regions varies based on factors such as latitude, with northern areas being colder and southern ones warmer. Learn more about this in the following sections.
Hokkaido / Tohoku
Hokkaido, the rhombus-shaped island in the northernmost part of Japan, and the Tohoku region are known for being cold and snowy, especially in winter. Temperatures go as low as -20, or even -30, degrees Celsius in some areas of Hokkaido. Further, due to the heavy snowfall, Hokkaido is one of the most popular destinations for skiing and snowboarding.
In summer, on the other hand, the climate is comfortable and nice as it doesn’t get as hot as it does in other parts of Japan. It’s also a popular place for summer vacations in order to avoid unbearable heat.
Kanto / Chubu / Kansai
The Kanto, Chubu, and Kansai regions are located in the main island of Japan, and Tokyo is within the Kanto region. Although the characteristics of the climate in each region vary in detail depending on its latitude and geography, these regions have typical Japanese weather in general.
Spring and autumn have comfortable and moderate weather conditions, summer is very hot and humid, and winter has some snowy days (though there are also sunny days, even with cold temperatures).
Kyushu / Okinawa
Kyushu is the most southwest of the four main islands, and Okinawa is the southernmost prefecture of Japan, which is 300km (about 186 miles) further southbound from Kyūshū. These regions are located in the southern part of Japan, and so it doesn’t get severely cold in winter. Due to its geography, summertime is longer and wintertime is shorter than in other regions of Japan.
Okinawa, the southern island surrounded by coral reefs, is the best summer resort destination for beautiful beaches and marine sports, such as scuba diving. Okinawa has a tropical climate and it’s beautiful in the summertime. However, keep in mind that it’s also often struck by typhoons near the end of summer. (There can be some extreme weather in Japanese regions near here!)

Want to talk about the weather in Japanese? Good!
First, if you want to know how to say weather in Japanese… it’s “tenki.”
Japanese people love talking about the tenki! It’s a popular topic because of how varied the weather is in Japan. Humid summers! Typhoons! Rainy season! Cold, dry winters! So, you’ll need these Japanese weather words and phrases.
Let’s jump in.
Part 1. Basic Japanese Weather Words
First, you need to know the basics. Like, how to say weather in Japanese. Well, technically, you already know that because I gave away the answer up top.
Let’s start with the basic words, adjectives and phrases.
# | English | Japanese | Romaji |
1 | weather | 天気 | tenki |
2 | weather report | 天気予報 | tenki yohō |
3 | temperature | 温度 | ondo |
4 | Celsius | 摂氏 | sesshi |
5 | Fahrenheit | 華氏 | kashi |
6 | The weather is… | 天気が…. です。 | tenki ga… desu. |
7 | It is…/It will be…. | ….です。 | …desu. |
8 | Today is… | 今日….です。 |
Kyou wa… desu. |
9 | Hot | 暑い | atsui |
10 | Good | いい | ii |
11 | Bad | 悪い | warui |
12 | Cold | 寒い | samui |
13 | Chilly | 涼しい | suzushii |
14 | Warm | 暖かい | atatakai |
15 | Dark | 暗い | kurai |
16 | Bright/Light | 明るい | akarui |
Based on this table above, if you use the pattern “天気が…. です” (tenki ga… desu / the weather is… ) and an adjectives, like good (良い – ii) or bad (悪い – warui), you can start talking about basic weather.
So, good weather in Japanese is: “天気がいいです” (tenki ga ii desu / the weather is good.)
Bad weather in Japanese is: “天気が悪いです” (tenki ga warui desu / the weather is bad.)
By the way, in English, you wouldn’t say “The weather is hot”, right?
Sounds unnatural.
You’d just say “it’s cold” or “it’s hot.”
Same thing in Japanese. You shouldn’t say “tenki ga samui desu.”
Instead, you can use “….です” (…desu/ it is/it will be) or “今日は…です” (kyou wa … desu/ today is…).
So, hot weather in Japanese would be: “暑いです” (atsui desu/ it’s hot). Or, you can say, “今日は暑いです” (Kyou wa atsui desu / Today is hot.)
And to describe cold weather in Japanese, you’d say, “寒いです” (samui desu / it’s cold.)
Now, let’s talk about more specific weather.
Part 2. Specific Japanese Weather Words
What’s specific?
Well, “good” and “bad” are pretty general, right? So is “hot” and “cold.”
But, what if you wanted to talk about sunny weather in Japanese? Or, that it’s windy? Or cloudy? Or that a chunk of hale hit you square in the face, knocked out a tooth, and then you were mercilessly rained down upon? Well, that’s too much, but you get the point.
If you want to say that it’s windy in Japanese… or that it’s rainy in Japanese… check out the words below.
# | English | Japanese | Romaji |
17 | Humid | 蒸し暑い | mushiatsui |
18 | Sunny | 晴れ | hare |
19 | Rainy | 雨降り | amefuri |
20 | Cloudy | 曇り | kumori |
21 | Cloud | 雲 | kumo |
22 | Overcast | 雨曇り | amagumori |
23 | Wind | 風 | kaze |
24 | Rain | 雨 | ame |
25 | downpour | ザーザー降り | zaazaaburi |
26 | drizzle | 小糠雨 | konukame |
27 | Snow | 雪 | yuki |
28 | Hail | 雹 | hyou |
29 | Thunderstorm | 雷雨 | raiu |
30 | Thunder/Lightning | 雷 | kaminari |
31 | Typhoon | 台風 | taifuu |
32 | Rainbow | 虹 | niji |
33 | It’s raining. | 雨が降っています。 |
ame ga futteimasu |
34 | It’s snowing. | 雪が降っています。 |
yuki ga futteimasu |
35 | It is windy. (lit: It is strong wind.) | 風が強いです。 |
kaze ga tsuyoi desu. |
36 | It is windy (2) | 風があります。 |
kaze ga arimasu. |
37 | It’s sunny. | 晴れです。 | hare desu. |
38 | It’s cloudy. | 曇りです。 | komuri desu. |
39 | There’s lightning | 雷があります |
kaman ga arimasu. |
40 | There’s a thunderstorm. | 雷雨があります。 | raiu ga arimasu. |
If you take a look at some of those last phrases, you’ll see how useful “desu” is. You can use it to say…
- 晴れです。
- hare desu – it’s sunny.
- 雨です。
- ame desu – there’s rain.
But, if you want to talk about the action like “it’s raining” or “its snowing,” you need to say:
- 雨が降っています。
- ame ga futteimasu – it’s raining.
- 雪が降っています。
- yuki ga futteimasu – it’s snowing.
The verb “降る” means “to fall” but only in the weather sense. As in, when rain or snow are coming down.
Part 3. Japanese Weather Phrases & Questions
Aside from knowing the words, here are some fun phrases and questions to know.
41. 天気はどうですか。
- Tenki wa dou desuka?
- How is the weather?
“Dou” means “how” and “tenki” you already know, right? Right?! Then, the “ka” is a question marking particle that you add to end of a sentence — it’s how to ask questions in Japanese.
42. 明日の天気はどうですか。
- Ashita no tenki wa dou desu ka?
- How will tomorrow’s weather be?
“Ashita” means “tomorrow.” By the way, as you already know, “kyou” is “today.” So, you can switch the words and use “Kyou” if you wanted to specifically ask about today’s weather.
43. いい天気ですね。
- Ii tenki desu ne
- It’s good weather, isn’t it?
The “ne” is another Japanese particle that can be translated as “right,” or “isn’t it?” You usually seek agreement or a response from the other person when you say that.
This is one of the most common Japanese small talk phrases.
44. 天気が急に変わった。
- Tenki ga kyuu ni kawatta.
- The weather changed suddenly.
“Kyuu ni” means suddenly. This is a very common adverb and is on my Japanese adverbs list. “Kawatta” is the past tense of the verb, “kawaru,” meaning to “change.”
45. 天気が回復した。
- Tenki ga kaifuku shita.
- The weather improved.
“Kaifuku” means “improvement” and a good word to know overall. That is, if you want your Japanese to “kaifuku.” If you add the verb “suru,” meaning “to do,” it becomes “kaifuku suru” or “to improve.”
46. 天気が悪くなった。
- Tenki ga waruku natta.
- The weather turned bad.
“Waruku” comes from “warui” that you learned up above. But when you combine it – or any i-adjective, with a verb like that, the final “i” becomes a “ku.” “Natta” is the past form of “naru” which is “to become” or “turn into.”
47. この天気に嫌気が差しています。
- Kono tenki ni iyakegasashitemasu.
- I’m sick of this weather.
I just think this is a very relatable phrase. “Iyake ga sasu” is a verb that means “to get sick of” or “tired of.”
48, 最近毎日雨ですね。
- Saikin mainichi ame desu ne.
- It’s been rainy every day lately.
“Saikin” means “recently” and “mainichi” means everyday. This would be a good phrase for the rainy season in Japan.
49. 寒くなってきましたね。
- Samuku natte kimashita ne.
- It’s getting colder, isn’t it?
During the transition into winter, you might want to comment about this change to your neighbors and colleagues. There is not too much heating in Japanese buildings, so everyone will be starting to feel the cold setting in.
50. 暑くなってきましたね。
- Atsuku natte kimashita ne.
- It’s getting hot, isn’t it?
Summers in Japan can get very hot. Many people will be dreading the summer heat and this could be a topic that everyone could relate to. You could share and talk about how you can cope with the summer.
