September in Ishigaki — reliably good (8th best month)

Days in September average 28°C (83°F) and humidity near 81% — front-load outdoor plans before the heat builds and treat the middle of the day as indoor time.

This is the year's wettest stretch at 259 mm, but with about 27 days with 6+ hours of sunshine it is not a total loss; an indoor fallback covers the risk.

That is 7.2/10 on the same scale — 8th of 12 months, versus 7.9/10 for the best month here.

Pack the lightest breathable clothing you own, a hat, and more water than feels necessary, a proper rain shell rather than an umbrella.

Expect mid-season pricing, and crowds are moderate.
