The quietest and busiest months

In 2025, February was Aichi's quietest month (7.1% of the year's guest nights): average high 10.5 °C, average low 1.4 °C, 65 mm of rain. August was the busiest (9.6%): average high 33.2 °C, average low 24.7 °C, 140 mm of rain. The figures do not show that the weather makes a month busier or quieter, so we do not say it does.

What these figures are

One weather station stands for Nagoya; places nearby can differ, especially by height or distance from the sea. For the full picture of Aichi, including regions and holidays, see our Aichi page; for other places, the visual guides and golden hour by place.
