Field notes
Mild year-round (17–29°C) with no real winter. The structural risk window is typhoon season (August–September) — Naha gets direct hits regularly enough that flight disruption is something to plan around. Summer heat is humid but moderated by ocean wind. The shoulder months (March–April, October–November) are the postcard windows.
