Good morning. This morning in Urasoe, Okinawa, the sun is shining brightly, and the day has started off with clear, sunny skies. It feels like early summer just before the rainy season ends—the humidity is a bit high, but strong winds blow through from time to time, bringing a refreshing breeze right into the room. The trees visible from my balcony were swaying vigorously, making for a morning where I could really feel the powerful winds that are so characteristic of Okinawa.
🌤️ This Morning’s Weather and Atmosphere in Okinawa
I woke up early this morning at 6:30 a.m. and watched the news on TV while the washing machine was running. Just after 7:00 a.m., I hung the laundry out to dry, and thanks to the strong wind, I have a feeling it’ll dry quickly. Mornings in Okinawa are usually very humid, and during the rainy season, it’s often hard for laundry to dry, but today the wind is on our side.
🌺 A Relaxing Morning with My Mom
After a while, my mom got up on her own. It’s a bit of a relief when she wakes up without me having to wake her up. We watched TV together for a while, then around 8:00 a.m., I started preparing breakfast. I made soup and croissants for my mom, and after brewing some coffee for myself, I offered coffee and a croissant at my dad’s Buddhist altar before having the same for myself. My mother ate everything slowly, and I watched over her from beside her, reminding her, “Don’t forget to take your medicine and check your blood pressure.” After breakfast, she said, “I’m going to watch TV while lying in bed,” and headed back to bed. We spent the morning relaxing until just past noon—a typical morning scene in Urasoe.
☕ The Changing Seasons and Okinawa’s Climate
June in Okinawa marks the end of the rainy season, and there are days when humidity rises to nearly 80%. Mornings often feel muggy, but on windy days like today, the wind chill makes it feel cooler and more comfortable. Urasoe City, in particular, is characterized by strong sea breezes, which clearly distinguish days when laundry dries easily from those when it doesn’t. As the end of the rainy season approaches, the morning air suddenly takes on a summery feel, with stronger sunlight and more cumulonimbus clouds appearing.

I hope today will be another peaceful day.
