Nemuro Peninsula

Climate

Most of the Nemuro Peninsula has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb). However, due to the influence of the Seasonal lag, the midsummer season is often scheduled from the end of August to the beginning of September. For example, spring in Cape Nosappu often doesn't arrive until the end of May, and in some years winter doesn't even end until the end of June. In 1983, due to the continuous cold wave, the winter in the area did not end until the end of July, and in August it immediately entered the summer; at the same time, the maximum temperature in June 1983 did not exceed 12 °C (54 °F).
