The characteristic of Japanese weather

Today's topic is weather! So I would like to introduce about Japanese weather to you guys^^! First, the four seasonss that called "四季(shi-ki)" is one of the most unique point of Japanese weather. There are some countries,which have the four seasons like Japan, such as USA, US, New Zealand and so on. However, the distinctive point is that the four seasons in Japan is very clearly distinguished. And 12 months could be divided into 3 months depend on the each season. In spring(March to May) if you come to Japan, you will be surprised at the beautiful cherry blossoms that are frequently seen in spring! But the weather in spring is very easy to change, so the differences of the tempareture is tend to change a lot.

In summer(June to August) it will rain a lot and the humid season will come. Japanese summer is really high humidity, so you would feel more hot than the reality.

In autumn(September to December,heaps of leaves will turn red, yello, and many places will be filled up with them! However the typhoom tends to come in this season and it gives us lots of rain as well.

In winter(December to February) it will snow a lot! Usually it doesn't snow heaps in Tokyo however these years it snows like a north part of Japan due to global warming.

Japan extends north and south so the four clearly different seasons exists. Reference; http://weather-ignorance.jp/02-nihon_2.html "The secret of weather" (Last access 18/07/2014)
