It does look like things are going to get cooler along our route. Osaka/Kyoto look to be in 80s or even low 90s for the pre-cruise with temperature still slated to drop on the 24th.

During the cruise itself, it looks like we should expect highs from the upper 60s to the low 80s (possibly upper 80s in Hong Kong) with lows in the 50s and the 60s. I like these cruises where you don't need to worry about overly cold or hot weather.

However; not totally trusting Ngaire's rapport with the rain gods, we will be bringing umbrellas. :D
