A must-see for those who go on a trip to Okinawa! Clothing and items from May to June

May-June, where you can feel the remnants of spring and the beginning of summer, both from May to June. In general, it has the image described above, but in Okinawa it is not the case.
The average temperature in Okinawa in May is about 25 ° C and in June is about 29 ° C. On the mainland, it is equivalent to the temperature from July to August. 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. The humidity often exceeds 80%, and there are many days when you feel the sultry heat. However, there are few days when it rains all day, and the sunny weather often spreads. There are many sunny days all day long. One of the characteristics of Okinawa at this time is that there are few typhoon landings. Under the clear sky, you can enjoy Okinawa by swimming and visiting tourist attractions!

So, when you travel to Okinawa in May to June, what kind of clothes should you choose? We will introduce it below.

Summer clothes are desirable for traveling in Okinawa from May to June. Summer clothes such as short-sleeved T-shirts, short pants, and thin skirts are recommended. However, in Okinawa at this time, the sun often shines strongly, and the monsoon called "Kurchibe (summer solstice south wind)" often blows strongly and feels chilly.
Therefore, as a countermeasure against sunburn and monsoon, we recommend that you bring a thin cardigan and other haori. If you don't want to wear a garment, it's a good idea to wear a spat from underneath shorts or wear a thin long-sleeved T-shirt.

By the way, the long-sleeved T-shirt is also recommended as a dress for enjoying swimming. When you swim in the sea, you spend a long time outside, so you may be exposed to a large amount of sunshine that is strongly inserted. Also, in Okinawa at this time when the monsoon blows strongly, it is more affected by the seaside.
From this point of view, long-sleeved T-shirts can be said to be clothes that should be adopted as a countermeasure against sunburn and monsoon even in the scene of swimming. 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 during the rainy season. For this reason, we recommend sandals at your feet when traveling. With shoes and pumps, when it rains, the inside of the shoes will be steamed due to moisture.
In addition, not only shoes but also socks can get wet, which makes you feel uncomfortable.……。
On the other hand, sandals do not have to worry about steaming, and even if it gets wet in the rain, so you can enjoy your trip to Okinawa more comfortably.

In May, there is Golden Week, one of the major holidays. Isn't there anyone planning to travel with children at this time?　Regarding children's clothes, basically there is no problem with the style mentioned above. Please refer to it.

In Okinawa from May to June, it is often said that "it was fine when we departed, but it rained on the way." Therefore, when traveling to Okinawa at this time, we recommend that you bring rain gear in case of rain.
However, rain gear is not a big umbrella. The first thing I would like to recommend is a folding umbrella 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, you need sunscreens and hats from this time. Even though it is not summer, the sun is strong, so if you take care of it, your skin will quickly become sunburned and bright red. We also cannot deny the danger of heat stroke. Therefore, keep sunscreen as a measure against the sun and a hat as a measure against the heat stroke.

How was it?　When it comes to clothes when traveling to Okinawa from May to June, the point is that they are different from clothes suitable for midsummer and midwinter. Since the temperature and climate of Okinawa and the mainland are different from May to June, it is important to choose clothes that match the climate of Okinawa when visiting for a trip.
