About weather on the Kumano Kodō - Nakahechi

Kumano Kodō – Nakahechi crosses shaded cedar slopes and long stone stairways that respond quickly to passing rain, sun, and cloud. April and November frequently bring cool mornings, clearer air, fresh foliage or autumn color, and steadier weather between passing showers. Across the rest of the year, conditions shift: late spring has longer daylight, early summer centers on the rainy season, late summer remains humid, early autumn can turn stormy, and winter stays cooler with mixed sunshine and occasional rain, while snow is uncommon on the main route.

• Spring: Fresh foliage and blossoms appear amid shifting patterns of showers and bright breaks, with cool mornings, mild afternoons, and longer daylight.
• Summer: Rainy season brings frequent, sometimes heavy showers, low cloud, humidity, slippery stones and roots, insects, and taxing heat on climbs.
• Autumn: Early weeks stay warm and unsettled with frequent rain; later periods bring clearer air, building color, crisper mornings, and fewer insects.
• Winter: Cool to cold mornings, mixed sunshine and cloud, occasional heavy showers, generally variable conditions, and snow uncommon on the main route.
