Best time to visit Utsunomiya

May is the best month in Utsunomiya, scoring 75 out of 100, with January the weakest at 42. The 33-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 5 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

August is the warmest month at 30.9 °C and January the coolest at 6.5 °C — a 24.4 °C spread across the year. Around 46 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in August and the months either side. At the other end, 92 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. June to August carry the rain — up to 19 wet days in a month — while January, February, November and December drop as low as 6. That 13-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Utsunomiya, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.7 hours in winter to 14.6 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are May, October, April. The one to think twice about is January. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
