Okinawa is a popular tourist destination known for its warm climate and beautiful ocean, but caution is advised during typhoon season. Typhoons develop from tropical depressions in the Pacific Ocean and often move northward from the southern waters off Japan. Since Okinawa lies along their path, typhoons occur frequently, especially from summer through fall. Knowing which months are most prone to typhoons will make it easier to plan your trip.
