4. Climate distribution
Japan is deeply influenced by Kuroshio, pro-tide and other ocean currents, with obvious maritime climate and small annual temperature difference. The climate in most parts of Japan is mild. However, due to the long-term extension of Japan's islands from southwest to northeast, and the difference between north and south latitudes is about 20 degrees, there are still great differences in climate throughout the country, which can be divided into six climatic zones, namely:
Climate in Hokkaido: Hokkaido is not affected by plum rains, and the rainfall is less than that in other parts of Japan. Summer is short and cool; Winter is long and cold.
Japan's coastal climate: the range is the western coastal area of Honshu Island. Winter is controlled by Siberian high, and the northwest wind blows. At the same time, because the warm current in winter brings a lot of water vapor to the horse current passing through the Sea of Japan, it often snows heavily. There is less precipitation in summer, and sometimes there is abnormal high temperature due to foehn.
Central plateau climate: typical inland climate. It is cold in winter and cool in summer. There is a great temperature difference between winter and summer and day and night. Low rainfall
Pacific side climate: including the east coast of Honshu, Shikoku and most parts of Kyushu. Influenced by the southeast monsoon in summer, there are many strong typhoons in Meiyu period. In winter, there is less snowfall.
Seto Inland Sea Climate: Including Yang Shan, Shikoku, Feng Jingen and parts of Kyushu. The weather here is often sunny, with little rainfall and suffering from drought from time to time.
