Judging from Tokyo's climatic range, which is a key guidepost as to when to visit Tokyo and how to prepare for a Tokyo trip appropriately, Tokyo can be blissfully comfortable and comparatively moderate throughout the year.
The city lends itself to four clearly defined seaons, with the blooming cherry blossoms kicking off a new year with the balmy spring, mellow hues of brilliant blue and scarlet maple leaves setting the city ablaze during autumn, the hot and muggy summer heralded by the rainy season from early-June to mid-July, then the unbearably hot and humid mid-summer days troughout late-July and August, and finally the typhoon season from the end of August through September, and the dry and clear winter when snowfalls are not unsusal but temperatures are mostly above the freezing point.
It is necessary to prepare clothes in accordance with the varied seasons.
While most days in spring are generally balmy and quite ideal for sightseeing, it can still be bleak until May, and temperatures can fluctuate from time to time throughout the entire season. It is advisable, therefore, to pack a light jacket or a thin sweater just in case. There are even days in early spring that's cold enough to require a heavy coat.
To survive the extreme weather conditions in summer, like the torrential rains in June, heat and humidity in August and thunderstorms in Semtepber, short-sleeves/sleeveless shirts made of light cottons, comfortable open-toe sandals, and a umbrellas/ parasol for protection against the intense sunlight or just in case you're caught in an unexpected downpour, are quite imperative. A lightweight jacket may be necessary for air-conditioned buildings or facilities.
Before the heat and humidity vent their fury entirely after September, short-sleeved shirts and sandals can still be worn. When the temperature difference between daytime and nighttime becomes so significant that the leaves start to take on the fascinating fall foliage from October onward, a warm jacket and/or a light wool sweater will be needed for the slightly cooler mornings and evenings in October, or the coldish days in November.
When winter days can be clear and dry most of the time, be prepared for sporadic snows in colder months. A heavy overcoat, plus a scarf, gloves, and fur-lining boots come as handy to keep one warm outdoors.
