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

May to June, where you can feel the remnants of spring and the beginning of summer. In general, it has the image as mentioned above, but in Okinawa, it is not the case.
The average temperature in May in Okinawa is about 25 ° C and in June is about 29 ° C, which is equivalent to the temperature from July to August on 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, enters the rainy season first in Japan. The humidity often exceeds 80%, and there are many days when you feel sultry. However, there are few days when it rains all day, and it is often sunny. There are many sunny days all day. 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 go on a trip to Okinawa from May to June, what kind of clothes should you choose specifically? I will introduce it as follows.

Summer clothes are desirable for travel to Okinawa from May to June. We recommend wearing summer clothes such as short-sleeved T-shirts, shorts, and thin skirts. However, in Okinawa at this time, the sun is often shining strongly, and the monsoon called "Kachibe (summer solstice south wind)" blows strongly and feels chilly.
Therefore, as a countermeasure against sunburn and monsoon, we recommend that you have a thin cardigan or other garment. If you don't want to have a haori, it's a good idea to wear spats under your shorts or wear a thin long-sleeved T-shirt.

By the way, long-sleeved T-shirts are also recommended as clothes for enjoying swimming. When it comes to swimming, you spend a long time outside, so you may be exposed to a large amount of sunlight. Also, in Okinawa during this period when the monsoon wind blows strongly, it is more affected by the seaside.
From these points, it can be said that long-sleeved T-shirts are clothes that should be adopted as a countermeasure against sunburn and monsoon even when viewed in the sea bathing scene. If you plan to swim in the sea during your trip to 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 for your feet when traveling. In shoes and pumps, when it rains, the inside of the shoes gets steamed due to moisture.
In addition, not only shoes but also socks may get wet, which may make you feel uncomfortable.……。
On the other hand, sandals don't have to worry about getting steamed and getting 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 some people planning a trip with children at this time?　Regarding children's clothing, there is basically no problem with the style mentioned above. Please refer to it.

In Okinawa from May to June, it is often said, "It was sunny at the time of departure, but it was raining on the way." Therefore, when traveling to Okinawa during this time, we recommend that you bring rain gear in case it rains.
However, rain gear is not a big umbrella. The first thing I would like to recommend is a folding umbrella that can be used as a 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, sunscreens and hats are needed from this time. Even though it is not a summer performance, the sun is strong, so if you distract yourself, your skin will tanned and turn red in no time. I can't deny the danger of heat stroke. Therefore, keep a 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 season. Since the temperature and climate between May and June are different between Okinawa and the mainland, it is important to choose clothes that match the climate of Okinawa when visiting for a trip.
