Climate of Aomori

Aomori, like the rest of Thoku, has a humid temperate climate with warm summers and chilly, but not harsh, winters. The city has a humid continental/humid subtropical climate, with monthly average temperatures ranging from 1.2 degrees Celsius (29.8 degrees Fahrenheit) in January to 23.3 degrees Celsius (73.9 degrees Fahrenheit) in August. The annual temperature trend is quite similar to that of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Aomori and its surroundings are well-known for its high snowfall, which is the heaviest among all Japanese cities and, in fact, among the heaviest in the world. The city experienced a maximum snow cover of 209 centimetres (82 in) in February 1945, however the extreme low of 24.7 °C (12 °F) was recorded 14 years earlier. In comparison, Sapporo’s highest snowfall was just 164 centimetres (65 in) in 1939, and comparable maxima have been reported in farther northern Wakkanai. The heavy snow is produced by various winds colliding around the city, causing the air to rise and chill, resulting in swift, dense cloud formation followed by strong precipitation.

In the summer, a chilly breeze called Yamase often blows from the east, resulting in unusually cool temperatures and poor crops. In addition, dense fogs caused by the Oyashio Current are common in hilly places throughout the summer. Flights to Aomori Airport are often canceled as a result of the fog.
