What are the characteristics of temperate monsoon climate?

The temperate monsoon climate is characterized by high temperature and rain in summer and cold and dry in winter.

The temperate monsoon climate is distributed on the east coast of the mid-latitude continent in the northern hemisphere, with an annual average temperature of not less than 0 degrees Celsius, high temperature and rainy summer, cold and dry winter and distinct four seasons. This is a transitional climate between subtropical zone and temperate zone.

The average temperature in Leng Yue is below 0℃, and it is cold in winter. The reason is: the latitude is high, close to the source of winter wind, the terrain is low and flat, and the west is high and the east is low, which weakens the winter wind.

Geographical distribution of temperate monsoon climate;

Including the area north of Qinling-Huaihe line in eastern China, Korean Peninsula, northern Japan and southern Russian Far East. It is located in the east temperate zone of Eurasia, specifically in North China, Northeast China of China, Northeast China of Honshu, Hokkaido Island, most parts of the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East.

The east coast of Eurasia, south of sub-frigid zone, north of Qinling-Huaihe River in China, east of temperate semi-arid and arid zone, including northeast and north of China, all of Korea, north and middle of Korea, south of Japan and the Far East of the former Soviet Union, belong to temperate monsoon climate zone.

The northern boundary of this area is the southern boundary of the sub-cold zone, with the annual average temperature of 4℃ isotherm as the boundary; The southern boundary is based on the average temperature of 9.5℃ in eight months of the year, and it is the northern boundary of the subtropical climate zone.
