Okinawa Weather on June 19th
☀️ Haisai! I’m CULT.
Today in Okinawa, the weather started off quite cloudy in the morning, but as it approached noon, the sky turned bluer with beautiful clouds filling the day. Yesterday was a bit cooler due to the many clouds, but today felt slightly warmer as the blue sky took over again. The highest temperature was 32°C, with a low of 27°C.
There are quite a few photos today.
Miebashi and the Kokusai Street Area
This is the scene in the early morning.
At this point, I thought it would be quite cloudy today… but it turns out you can’t judge the weather just by the early morning sky.
This is what it looks like around 8 a.m.
Although I work from home, I usually start my work around 7 a.m. I went out to buy a can of energy drink. As morning comes, the sky is getting bluer, suggesting that today will be another fine day.
It’s the morning school commute time. Naturally, the children are dressed in their summer uniforms.
This is around the afternoon. I’m working on creating a company website, and after finishing the bug report, I did some laundry before going out. On a day like today, even if it’s a bit humid, the wind is blowing, so I thought it would dry well by the evening and hung out the laundry.
Starting a ride on my bicycle. The outfit of the gentleman passing by is perfect for summer. It’s quite similar to my style, but I’m wearing Crocs slippers. My attire is a bit cooler.
This is Makishi Public Market. It’s Thursday afternoon, so there aren’t many tourists yet. Usually, tourists start to appear more from Thursday evening onwards.
The alleyway was so pretty that I decided to take a photo. Seeing the cacti growing, it certainly feels like summer. Well… in Okinawa, cacti grow even in winter.
The weather was so beautiful that every alley looked stunning today. This has been going on for over a week now, so everyone, you should visit Okinawa right now. The weather is a masterpiece every day.
As I mentioned earlier, since it’s Thursday afternoon, there aren’t many tourists yet. Kokusai Street gets busier on Thursday nights as many people arrive in the evening.
This is the Miebashi River. Today, the water level is quite high. This usually means that it won’t rain for the next few days. A high water level often indicates that rain isn’t expected soon, although there is a forecast for rain tomorrow with an expected rainfall of just 1 millimetre. It’s likely that it won’t rain, and even if it does, it will be such a slight amount that you might not even notice it.
Okinawa’s West Coast
The weather is lovely, so I’m heading to the coastal road by bicycle. The clouds were so beautiful that I captured a shot.
Although it’s hot, I ride every day to show you the real, authentic side of Okinawa.
This is Naminoue Beach. It’s early Thursday afternoon, so there aren’t many people here yet. It’ll get really crowded tomorrow. But tomorrow, I’ll be at American Village from the afternoon for a shoot, so I’ll show you what it looks like there. Come to think of it, I’ll be heading north for shoots on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I’ll show you various aspects of Okinawa!
This is Naminoue Beach viewed from the opposite side. The emerald-coloured sea is quite impressive 👍
This is the west coast road area. It’s also under the Tomari Bridge, and it’s quite cool here as it’s shaded and quite breezy. I often buy a drink and come here to watch the sunset. It’s like my own special spot.
The sea is particularly clear today. Well, it’s almost always clear, but the day after heavy rain, the sea sparkles even more beautifully. That’s why some people who specialise in snorkelling choose to visit Okinawa during typhoon season. I’ve heard the sea looks incredibly beautiful the day after a typhoon.
You can enjoy a refreshing view of the sea. Naha is the most densely populated area in Okinawa, so there are numerous breakwaters as a precaution against tsunamis. Therefore, to see a perfect horizon, you need to go a bit further out.
Here is a view of the boats docked at the pier. Having a photo like this really gives you the feeling of being in Okinawa.
Naminoue and Route 58
This is Naminoue Shrine. I come here almost every day, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the taiyaki shop open. At 300 yen for one taiyaki, it seems quite expensive. In Korea, you can get two for about 100 yen… Perhaps there’s something special about them? Surely, there must be a reason for the high price, right?
Naminoue Shrine. Some people were dressed in yukata, while others wore Okinawan kimono. Even with such long clothing, it wasn’t unbearably hot, so it’s worth trying. The weather was so beautiful that enduring a bit of heat was worthwhile for capturing the stunning scenery in photos. [Google Map]
Leaving Naminoue behind, we’re heading towards Route 58. By observing the attire of the people passing by, you can get a sense of what clothing to prepare for your trip to Okinawa.
This is the entrance to Fukushu-en that I came across while cycling. The weather is lovely, making it look even more impressive than usual.
The last photo of today’s Okinawa weather is of Route 58.
If you come to Okinawa and rent a car to enjoy a drive by the sea, you’ll most likely pass through Route 58. In fact, the charm of Okinawa is travelling solely on Route 58 without any highways. Isn’t it a true trip when you stop somewhere you fancy, take photos, and dip your feet into the emerald sea while enjoying the view?
It was such a beautiful and lovely day. I hope tomorrow will be just as wonderful as today. I’ll wrap up here and will be back with more Okinawa weather updates tomorrow. Matayasai 👋
