Japan in November: five-city climate context
November provides a later-year comparison across the selected observatories. The values below preserve their station and source context instead of implying one climate for all of Japan.

Keep the location label attached
The listed November means extend from 5.2°C in Sapporo to 22.5°C in Naha. In this set, Osaka has the lowest precipitation total and highest sunshine-duration total, but that does not turn the values into a destination ranking. Monthly totals are useful for comparing typical patterns; they do not guarantee a particular experience.
The selected stations are a concise reference set, not a representation of every Japanese island, town or elevation. Use the comparison tool to look at a different month or city combination.
