The four seasons in Japan
| Geographically, Japan is perfectly located for wonderful weather.
Therefore the four seasons in Japan are really full of variety．In
the winter season, the fine
weather on the Pacific Ocean side becomes a stark contrast with the
heavy snow on the side of the Sea of Japan. The gust of the
spring-heralding storm comes several times, and the temperature rises
with each time. Then after repeating this, the real
spring finally comes. The fine
days in May come shortly, and then the seasonal rain front stagnates
almost in the whole area of the Mainland in the middle of June and it
becomes the rainy season. At the end of rainy season, localized heavy
rain mainly hits Western Japan and the humid
summer comes by the middle of
July. Lingering summer heat becomes severe from around the middle of
August then the typhoon season comes. From around the end of September
when the typhoon season ends, the temperature begins to fall rapidly and
then the fine autumn days start
from the beginning of October. |
