===Climate===
Fukuoka has a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfa''), hot and humid summers, and relatively mild winters.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/japan/fukuoka |title=Climate – Fukuoka |access-date=May 22, 2018 |archive-date=May 22, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180522180913/https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/japan/fukuoka |url-status=live }}</ref> The city also sees on average about {{cvt|1600|mm|0}} of precipitation per year, with a stretch of more intense precipitation between the months of June and September.

Along with much of the prefecture, Fukuoka City has a moderate climate with an annual average temperature of {{cvt|16.3|°C|0}}, average humidity of 70% and 1,811 annual sunshine hours. Roughly 40% of the year is cloudy.

Winter temperatures rarely drop below {{cvt|0|°C|0}} and snow cover is rarely seen, though very light snow does fall on many days if not as consistently as on the [[Sea of Japan]] side of [[Honshu]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=[[Japan Meteorological Agency]] |url=http://www.data.jma.go.jp/obd/stats/etrn/view/nml_sfc_ym.php?prec_no=82&prec_ch=%95%9F%89%AA%8C%A7&block_no=47807&block_ch=%95%9F%89%AA&year=&month=&day=&view=a1 |script-title=ja:気象庁 &#124; 平年値（年・月ごとの値） |access-date=21 June 2012 |archive-date=March 2, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302072040/http://www.data.jma.go.jp/obd/stats/etrn/view/nml_sfc_ym.php?prec_no=82&prec_ch=%95%9F%89%AA%8C%A7&block_no=47807&block_ch=%95%9F%89%AA&year=&month=&day=&view=a1 |url-status=live }}</ref> Spring is warm and sunnier, with [[cherry blossom]]s appearing in late March or early April. The [[rainy season]] (''tsuyu'') lasts for approximately six weeks through June and July, during which time the humidity is very high and temperatures hover between {{cvt|25|°C|0}} and {{cvt|30|°C|0}}. Summers are humid and hot, with temperatures peaking around {{cvt|37|°C|0}}. Autumn, often considered to be Fukuoka's best season, is mild and dry, though the [[typhoon]] season runs between August and September.
