Temperatures and seasonal clothing in Ito, which is blessed with a mild climate.

Ito City is located in the eastern part of the Izu Peninsula, with the Amagi Mountains in the western part of the city area and the Pacific Ocean coast in the southeastern part. It is said to be blessed with a mild climate throughout the year by national standards. The following is an introduction to the actual climate and temperature information based on past data. In addition, we have compiled a list of recommended seasonal clothing for sightseeing.
Ito, with its maritime climate, has a mild climate with an average temperature of about 26°C in mid-summer, about 7°C in mid-winter, and 16.4°C on average. The average maximum temperature rarely drops above 30°C and the average minimum temperature rarely drops below 2°C, making it an easy place to spend time throughout the year.

Temperatures in Ito and seasonal clothing

Due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current, which has high water temperatures, spring arrives early, and temperatures rise in March. The average temperature is around 10℃. However, the mornings and evenings are still cold, with the lowest temperatures falling to near 0°C. The temperature difference between the two can be quite large. Dress in long-sleeved shirts and a vest or sweater, and carry warm clothes that are easy to take off and put on. If you are going out to the highlands, it is advisable to bring thicker winter clothes.
In April and May, the maximum temperature can reach nearly 30°C (86°F), and the minimum temperature is around 5°C (41°F) in April, but never falls below 10°C (50°F) in May. An outer layer of clothing such as a parka will be sufficient to keep out the cold, but if the wind is strong, it will be more chilly, so choose clothing made of materials that do not allow the wind to penetrate easily.

Cherry blossoms are at their best in Izu Kogen and Ito hot springs. Especially in Omuroyama, cherry blossoms of many varieties can be enjoyed from March to the beginning of May, and azaleas add color to Omuroyama during the Golden Week holidays.

The rainy season lasts from early June to early July, and the average temperature is about the same as in Tokyo, around 21°C (70°F), with some days below 15°C (59°F) during the rainy season.
After the rainy season ends, the beaches facing Sagami Bay open to the public, and in July and August, breezes from the Amagi Mountains and Sagami Bay make for a comfortable stay, attracting many tourists to the ocean and Izu Highlands in search of cooler weather. While temperatures are stable along the coast, the area around Omuroyama often has cool mornings and evenings that are unique to the highland area. However, if you plan to stay overnight in the highlands or go out at night to watch fireworks along the coast, be sure to bring a coat of clothing.

The average temperature in September is about the same as in Tokyo, around 23℃. In the coastal areas, you can still enjoy the never-ending summer, so you can wear the same clothes as in summer until around Silver Week. In the highlands, mornings and evenings become cooler and you can feel the arrival of autumn. October, with its pleasant temperatures, is the perfect time to visit Ito's art properties and enjoy the autumn arts.
In November, the days are warmer than in Tokyo, and the average temperature is slightly higher. After mid-November, the autumn foliage is finally at its best. In the highland areas, the lowest temperatures are around 5 degrees Celsius on more and more days, so it is a good idea to prepare a vest, sweater, or something to wear between your inner and outer layers.

Ito offers many winter attractions such as the "Yama-yaki" (burning of Mt. Omuro), the "Grand Illumi" illumination at Izu Guranparu Park, and winter fireworks displays. Although it is a cold winter season, the temperatures in Ito are mild and comfortable, with highs around 20°C in December and highs over 15°C in January and February. Although there is no biting cold wind, beware of strong winds from the sea during this season. Even on a sunny day, the wind will take away your body heat, so a windproof down coat or coat is a must.
Strolling around the hot spring resort area is comfortable and not too cold, but you will be going in and out of stores, so outerwear that is easy to put on and take off is recommended. In the highland areas, such as Omuroyama, frost and even snow may occur on rare occasions. Be sure to pay attention to local weather information on the day of your visit, and take good warm-up measures when riding the Omuroyama mountain lift.
