SPRING (Mar. - May) SUMMER (Jun. - Aug.) AUTUMN (Sep. - Nov.) WINTER (Dec. - Feb.)
To go to another season, please select any of the faint-lettered seasons above.

There comes blossoming of plum-trees that heralds the end of winter in Japan. As the Siberian air masses that dominate the winter weaken, high pressure and low pressure alternately pass through Japan. When enveloped by the high-pressure atmosphere, the weather is generally good with lots of sun and warmth but cold at night. On the other hand, however, when low pressure passes, there is usually lots of rainfall caused by the moisture brought in by the westerlies from the Sea of Japan. Above is the outline of the characteristic of the springtime weather.
