climate

It is located at the west end of the Seto Inland Sea, and in terms of climate classificationSeto Inland Sea climateFrom the transition type to another type^[9].

There are several ways of thinking about climate classification.

The Japan Meteorological Agency divides the preliminary warning subdivision area into the following four areas.^[10].

• North(Nakatsu City, Usa City, Bungotakada City, Kunisaki City, Himejima Village)-Although it belongs to the Seto Inland Sea climate, in winterKanmon StraitNorthwest from(I.e.There are many cloudy days under the influence of.
• Central part(Kitsuki City, Hiji Town, Beppu City, Oita City, Yufu City, Usuki City, Tsukumi City)-Due to the mountains in the northwest, the weather is better in the winter than in the north and west.
• Western part(Hita City/Kusu Town/Kuju Town/Takeda City)-Located in the inland area,thunderstormThere are many. In the basin from autumn to early winter(I.e.Occurs.
• Southern(Bungo Ono City, Saiki City)-The warmest and most rainy weather in the prefecture, sometimes heavy rains in the summer. In winter, there are many sunny days.

There is also the idea of ​​dividing into the following four areas from the two viewpoints of the annual average value of precipitation and the annual change of the number of precipitation days.^[9].

• Setouchi type (I)(Nakatsu Plain, Kunisaki Peninsula and coastal area of ​​Beppu City) -Annual precipitation is 1,800 mm (mm) or less.It tends to be cloudy in winter and often snows.In the summerdroughtIs likely to occur.
• Setouchi type (II)(Oita City, Mid-Ono River Basin, Usuki City)-Annual rainfall of 1,800 mm or less. The winter weather is relatively good.
• Kyushu Mountain type(Inland from the western part of the prefecture to the northwestern part)-Annual rainfall of 1,800 mm or more. It exceeds 3,000 mm in mountainous areas. Heavy rains are likely to occur during the rainy season, but the rainfall due to typhoons in the summer is relatively small. In winter, there are many precipitation days and often snowfall.
• Nankai type(Saiki City south of Tsukumi City, Bungo Ono City)-Annual precipitation of 1,800 mm or more. It exceeds 3,000 mm in mountainous areas. Especially in the summer, it is heavily rained and typhoons often cause heavy rainfall. It is dry and sunny in winter.
