Tokyo's weather runs on a clear seasonal cycle: a humid rainy season (tsuyu) in June–July, hot and often storm-prone summers, and typhoon risk that peaks August through October — precipitation and wind gust forecasts matter most during that window. Dense high-rise areas also create real localized wind-funneling between buildings that a citywide forecast can't capture.
