A must-see for those who go to Okinawa! Clothes and items from May to June

From May to June, you can feel both the remnants of spring and the beginning of summer. Generally, it has the image as mentioned above, but this is not the case in Okinawa.
The average temperature in Okinawa in May is about 25 ° C and about 29 ° C in June, which is equivalent to the temperature from July to August in the mainland. Therefore, if you go on a trip to Okinawa at this time, you can feel the summer a little earlier!

Okinawa from May to June is the earliest in Japan to enter the rainy season. Humidity is often over 80%, and there are many days when you feel hot and humid. However, there are few days when it is raining all day, and the sunny days often spread. There are many sunny days all over the day. One of the characteristics of Okinawa during this period is that there are few typhoons landings. Under the clear skies, you can enjoy Okinawa by swimming and visiting tourist attractions!

So, when you go on a trip to Okinawa from May to June, what kind of clothes should you choose? The following is an introduction.

Summer clothing is preferable for your trip to Okinawa from May to June. We recommend summer clothes such as short-sleeved T-shirts, short pants, and thin skirts. Nevertheless, in Okinawa during this period, the sun often shines strongly, and the seasonal wind called "Carchibe (summer solstice south wind)" often blows strongly and feel chilly.
Therefore, as a measure against sunburn and monsoon, it is recommended to have a haori, such as a thin cardigan. If you don't want to hold a haori, it's a good idea to wear spats under the short pants or wear a thin long-sleeved T-shirt.

By the way, the long-sleeved T-shirt is also recommended as clothes when enjoying swimming. When it comes to swimming, you spend a long time outside, so you may be exposed to a large amount of sunlight that shines strongly. Also, in Okinawa at this time when the monsoon blows strongly, along the sea is more affected by the sea.
From this point of view, long-sleeved T-shirts can be said to be clothes that should be incorporated as a measure against sunburn and monsoon even in the sea bathing scene. If you plan to swim in Okinawa from May to June, be sure to bring it with you.

Okinawa from May to June is just the rainy season. Therefore, we recommend sandals at your feet when traveling. With shoes and pumps, the inside of the shoes become steamy due to moisture when it rains.
In addition, not only shoes but also socks can get wet, which makes you feel uncomfortable.……。
On the other hand, sandals don't have to worry about steaming, and they don't bother so much even if they get wet in the rain, you can enjoy your trip to Okinawa more comfortably.

In May, there is Golden Week, one of the major holidays. Isn't there some people planning to travel with children at this time?　As for children's clothing, there is basically no problem with the style mentioned above. Please take a look at it.

In Okinawa from May to June, it is often said that "it was sunny at the time of departure, but it rained halfway." Therefore, it is recommended that you bring your rain gear when it rains to Okinawa during this time.
However, rain gear is not a big parasol. The best thing I would like to recommend is a folded umbrella that can be used for sunny rain. This can be used not only when it rains but also when you want to protect your skin from the sun.

By the way, sunscreen and hats are needed from this time. Although it is not summer full, the sun is strong, so if you relax, your skin will burn and turn red in no time. In addition, the danger of heat stroke is undeniable. Therefore, keep a sunscreen as a measure against sunlight and a hat as a measure against heat stroke.

How was it?　When it comes to Okinawa from May to June, the point is that it is different from clothes suitable for midsummer and midwinter season. Okinawa and the mainland have different temperatures and climates from May to June, so it is important to try to choose clothes that match the climate of Okinawa when you visit.
