Fukuoka area, Kitakyushu areaTsushima StraitsCoastal areaKanmon StraitCoastal area (Fukuoka City-Kitakyushu-Munakata City-ItoshimaSuch)

The area has short daylight hours in winter, which is whySea of ​​Japan side climateClose to^[4] But for each seasonPrecipitation amountDistribution is clearPacific climateTherefore, the climate on the Sea of ​​Japan side is decisively different in terms of the number of rainy days and the amount of snowfall, especially in winter.

Rarely winter daystemperatureIt's not low, but in the northwest(I.e.However, since the daylight hours are short, it feels as cold as in Honshu.Strong wind / snow / wave warnings are often announced, and blizzard / wave warnings may be announced during strong winters.The upwind of the northwest monsoon is the Tsushima Strait, the blowing distance is short, and snow clouds are difficult to develop, so snow is rarely accumulated in the plains.Mt. SefurisanIt is easy for snow to accumulate around the area, and 60cmThere may be snowfall of about 100 cm.

After the rainy season, the maximum temperature is often 30°C or higher on a midsummer day, and every few days it is a hot day of 35°C or higher due to the Fern phenomenon. The average price of Fukuoka city (1981-2010 average for 30 years) is 132.4 for summer days, 57.1 for midsummer days,Extremely hot day5.5 days,Tropical night33.2 days, winter days 4.3 days, midwinter days 0.0 days.

Temperatures tend to rise in summer, and there are more hot days than in Fukuoka or Kitakyushu. In winter, there are relatively many winter days, and clouds develop in the process of crossing mountains, so this region is the most prone to snowfall on the plains of the prefecture. Altitude 1,000mMountain rangeChikushi mountain area OfMt. HikosanThere may be about 60-100 cm of snow in the surrounding area.
