Weather Nara-Shi
Nara, a historic city in Japan, is often overlooked in favour of nearby Kyoto, but in fact Nara is significantly older than Kyoto and is renowned as one of the birthplaces of early Japanese culture. A number of significant monuments and temples in the city are now collectively part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visitors are drawn to the city’s beauty and to its relaxed, dignified air.
When is the best month to visit Nara-Shi?
The best time to visit the city largely depends on the weather in Nara. Late autumn, between October and November, is a great time to visit Nara. The many oak trees that line the park and streets transform themselves from bright green to a sea of yellows, reds and everything in between. However, Nara weather also brings cherry blossom during March and April. This stunning sight also tends to pull the crowds.

Nara’s Climate
Nara’s climate is quite variable. Hot, humid summers, with some of the heaviest rainfall in Japan, give way to distinctly cooler winters, with dramatic temperature differences between day and night.
Spring in Nara
Spring is a gorgeous time to visit Nara, and the nearby Yoshino area is famous for its cherry blossoms. Temperatures begin to climb sharply from March onwards, from around 25°C in March to 32°C by the end of May. Nights are cool, however, with overnight lows of just 2°C in March, rising to 12°C by the end of May.
Because of these diurnal temperature ranges, visitors should take layered clothing for a spring visit to Nara, as you will need to cover up during the colder nights. Take an umbrella too, for occasional heavy spring showers.
Summer in Nara
Summers in Nara can be extremely hot and very humid. This is the wettest part of the year, and torrential downpours are common. Meanwhile, average daily highs of between 35 and 40°C are uncomfortably hot, with nights at a more comfortable 20°C. The humidity can make it difficult to sleep, while day time temperatures can rule out much sight-seeing.
If you’re visiting Nara in the summer, try to stay out of the midday sun and drink plenty of water. Don’t bother with waterproof clothing - it’s much too hot - but an umbrella would be useful.
Autumn in Nara
September is really an extension of the summer months in Nara, with temperatures still in the mid 30s Celsius and lots of rain. Temperatures start to become more comfortable in October and November, however, and will have fallen back to 20°C during the day in November but those cold nights have also crept up suddenly, with overnight lows down to around 6°C at this time.
Rainfall lessens in October and November but is still present, so take an umbrella.
Winter in Nara
Nara’s winter months are mild during the day, with average temperatures reaching around 14°C throughout. However, big drops at night take the mercury tumbling down to just below freezing. This is the driest season in Nara, but occasional showers are still possible. Nara typically receives a few days of snowfall each winter month, but as daytime temperatures climb, the snow rarely lasts for long.
Nara-Shi Hotels
What to pack and wear in Nara-Shi?
Like many other parts of Japan, the rainy season hits Nara during the summer (June to August). Therefore, coming prepared for bouts of rainfall is recommended. As mentioned, winter temperatures can drop to close to freezing, and occasionally below. Therefore, warm clothing is an essential item if visiting between December and early March.
