The causes of Japanese monsoon climate

The Japanese archipelago is surrounded by the sea. In addition to the northeast coast (Thousand Island Cold Current), it is surrounded by warm current from tropical Pacific Ocean (also called Japanese Warm Current).

The average annual precipitation in most areas is1000-2000mm, with southeast winds prevailing in summer and continuous rainfall in the eastern coast from June to July. In winter, the northwest wind blows across the Sea of Japan from the mainland. The weather is cold and there is a lot of snowfall in the north.
