What I Wish I Knew Before Coming to Japan! #1

The Humidity is Real – Pack Summer-Friendly Clothes

When I was packing for Japan, I only considered the temperature. Big mistake! The humidity here makes the air feel much hotter and stickier than what the temperature suggests. Even if you check the forecast and think, "Oh, it's only 80°F," the humidity can turn that into a whole different beast. My advice: prioritize lightweight, breathable clothing, even if you see the locals covering up.

Interestingly, many locals do wear long sleeves despite the heat, but this can be misleading for visitors. The reasons range from being used to the climate to adhering to work dress codes or protecting their skin from the sun. I even saw a woman on a bike dressed in a long maxi dress, with arm-length gloves, a large sun hat, and sunglasses—she reminded me of Marceline from Adventure Time! But as a visitor, trying to copy what the locals wear isn’t always the best idea. Instead, make sure to check both the temperature and humidity before heading out.

Humidity really amplifies the heat. For instance, if it’s 100°F and the humidity is 55%, it can feel like a scorching 124°F! However, at 70°F with the same humidity, it still feels like 70°F. This means humidity mainly impacts higher temperatures, making the heat index rise significantly.

Luckily, Japan has your back with portable fans sold everywhere. You’ll see people using them on crowded trains, especially when it’s packed and stuffy! So, don’t hesitate to grab one to help cool down.

Bottom line: dress for the humidity, and don’t be fooled by what others are wearing!
