Nagoya - Weather
Central Honshu is known across Japan for its variable climate and around the Japan Alps, the winter climate can be especially chilly, with heavy snowfalls and frosty weather. However, the climate in Nagoya is influenced by its coastal setting next to the Pacific Ocean and whilst winters in the city can be cold, night-time temperatures rarely fall below freezing.

The summer climate in Nagoya is quite the opposite, with temperatures constantly topping 30°C / 86°F and even 35°C / 95°F, especially during the sunny months of July and August. Even at night-time during the summer months, the temperatures stay in the mid-20s, making air-conditioned rooms essential for a good night's sleep. In fact, Nagoya boasts more than 2,000 hours of sunny weather each year, an average of almost six hours a day. -Information from World Guides - Nagoya
