What's the weather and climate like in Japan all year round?

Japan has a long and narrow territory, which runs through three climatic zones: tropical zone, temperate zone and frigid zone. Coupled with the dual influence of continental and maritime climate, the climate changes greatly and the four seasons are distinct. In summer, the temperature in the whole country is generally high and the precipitation is abundant. In winter, the sea of Japan is snowy and cloudy, while the Pacific Ocean is dry and sunny. The temperature difference between north and south is large in winter. In the month of 65438+ 10, the average temperature in Sapporo in the north was below zero, and that in Naha in the south was above 15 degrees. Sakura is the national flower of Japan. It blooms first in South Kyushu in March every year, and blooms one by one from south to north. It is called "Cherry Blossom Front Line", and the cherry blossom opening time in Hokkaido is generally around mid-May every year. Japan's climate zone can be divided into Hokkaido climate zone (cool in summer, cold in winter, less precipitation, less affected by plum rains and typhoons), Japan Sea coastal climate zone (snowy in winter, sunny in summer), inland climate zone (less precipitation due to monsoon, large temperature difference between day and night in Xia Dong), and Pacific coastal climate zone (influenced by ocean, rainy in summer, hot and foggy, warm in winter, mostly affected by typhoons).
