What to wear in Okinawa in May
For what to wear in Okinawa in May, light daytime clothing is usually comfortable, with one light layer for strong air-conditioning or late evenings. Add a compact umbrella or light rain jacket because wet weather is common enough to affect sightseeing.
Travel takeaway: The month can work well for a trip if you are comfortable building indoor alternatives around wetter periods.
