Climate
Climate in Tokyo
Tokyo is a very large city, since it is the capital of Japan. The climate during the Spring is usually in the 40s Degrees F. The Celsius can go low to an 9. The reason why Tokyo has this climate is because during the Spring, it gets much cooler and windier than the other seasons. The Latitude of Tokyo, Japan is 35 degrees N, and 139 degrees E. Tokyo is prone to have Hurricanes due to it being near the ocean, where Hurricanes occur with high tides. Tornadoes can occur in Tokyo or anywhere in Japan because it is warm and it causes instability in the lower atmosphere, causing a vortex and the Tornado itself. Mt. Fuji is west of Tokyo, and it heavily effects the weather in the city. Mt. Fuji can block storms from the far west, usually preventing snowfall throughout the year in Tokyo. The mountain itself can cause high turbulence with the snow cap and clouds on top. The prevailing winds that effect Tokyo due to it's latitude is the Horse Latitude, meaning high pressure. Tokyo is by Tokyo bay, which is connected to the Pacific Ocean. The cause of this is high erosion. Tokyo Bay has both warm and cold water currents, depending on route. If Tokyo was farther inland, it's climate would not be affected by Mt. Fuji, and it would probably have more snowfall.
