If you are visiting the area for the first time and you don’t know the climate of the land, you may get worried. Especially on the Okinawa (沖縄) Mainland since the climate can be very different. So, let me introduce the appropriate dress for the average temperatures in each month in Okinawa. Average temperatures in Tokyo(東京) and Okinawa are always different.
Okinawa of course, has higher temperatures.
Let’s look at an example of the temperature difference between the two. When Tokyo is at or below 42° F when going out, wearing a coat,scarf

You will not need a sweater underneath the jacket.

you can expect a lot of rain. So bring rain gear.

It is a warm Midsummer that is followed by a scorching heat. With an especially strong summer sunshine, there is only a small temperature difference between Okinawa and Tokyo. Also in the strong sunlight, sunburn prevention is important. Sunscreen and sunglasses are highly recommended!
The weather is suitable for short sleeves, shorts, and sleeveless dresses. Remember that there is strong cooling in facilities such as shopping centers so dress accordingly. This is the typhoon season and there is a lot of rain (especially in September)
so be prepared for rain.
