ABSTRACT
Japan is located on the eastern edge of the monsoon region of Asia and its climate varies according to the seasonal and regional conditions. Typically, heavy rains occur in various parts of the country both during the rainy season in June and July and during the typhoon season from August to October. This precipitation is predominantly in the form of locally specific temporary downpours. In winter, the northern part of the country usually receives heavy snowfall, which causes prolonged floods in spring caused by the melting of snow.
