Toronto, Ontario has a warm continental climate with no dry season whereas Tokyo has a humid subtropical climate. The weather in Japan is normally mild, with four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Japan has particular climactic events such as a rainy season and typhoons, but during the springtime, which is from March to May, temperatures are warm but not too hot, and there isn’t too much rain. So spring is considered as the best season to travel since the temperatures are most favorable. The average temperature in Tokyo is 14.6 °C and precipitation are 125 mm. Tokyo’s sunrise is at around 4:40 am and the sunset is at around 6:30 pm, with the day length of about 14 hours.
The average point differential between Japan and Canada on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions is 35.6. The largest differentials between the two cultures are pragmatism (52), uncertainty avoidance (43), and masculinity (42). Given that individualism has the largest differential in favor of Canada, as well as being Canada’s highest scoring dimension, it will be included for analysis as well. (The Hofstede Centre)
In Canada, two cities with the largest populations in their respective provinces share similar and different geographical attributes. It is interesting to observe how these attributes influence the climates that these cities experience. On the west coast of Canada, situated on the 49th parallel four meters above sea level, the city of Vancouver exhibits a maritime oceanic climate with typically dry summers and wet winters. , In contrast, the city of Halifax lies on Nova Scotia’s east coast 25 meters above sea level on the 44th parallel, where it is classified by its humid continental climate with balanced rainfall with a peak in the autumn months. , Because of their 4000 kilometer displacement, these Canadian cities display comparative and
In Hawaii weather varies and can be raintine two miles away where it is sunny. Hawaii is near the equator so it is tropically warm and consistent through the year. Typically, December, January, and February are the coldest months. Most of Hawaii’s rainfall falls overnight.
On Saturday December 21st 2013 a powerful storm struck Southern Ontario, leaving the streets and sidewalks under a thick blanket of snow. Ice covered covered the ground in thick sheets near Lake Ontario and some parts in Quebec. In Fredricton they received freezing rain. This storm greatly affected many parts of Southern Canada and some parts of the United States. In this essay I will be focussing only on the areas in Canada that it affected. I will be discussing the different types of precipitation that fell, the areas where the storm attacked and the dangers it caused to many lives, and the impact this storm had on transportation routes and the power grid. Finally, I will be comparing how the different types of tree vegetation were able
Japan and Canada are on opposite sides of the world, but are they on opposite sides of government? That’s what I’ve been researching about for the past three weeks.
There is a big difference in weather when it comes being in a different part of the world. Finland is a place where in the summertime, the sun doesn’t even go down. A part of Finland is right under the Arctic Circle, which makes the sun seem awake for days at a time. Although in America the sun goes down every day, those days can be very short or very long. Finland’s longest season is winter and is the reason why it is always to an extend of being cold. Yearly weather is distributed in the US, as for summers warm and hot, and winters chilly and cold. Some parts of the US can stay in a certain range of heat or coldness but that’s usually around the coasts. In Finland the highest heat record was 37.2 degrees Celsius ( 99 degrees
The first driver is observed climate change impacts. In Canada, and in Ontario specifically, the ways in which the climate is changing are generally known to us. Shorter and warmer winters, earlier snow melts, increased extreme precipitation, and extreme heat events. These observed climate impacts and more frequent extreme weather events are proving to be very costly. The Insurance Bureau of Canada, for instance, reported that the value of total insurance claims related to weather events has increased 40 fold between 1983 and 2013 (Burgess, 2014). Impacts on the health and well-being of Canadians are also displayed beyond monetary costs and frequently involve displacement, injuries and loss of life (Lemmen & Warren, 2008). Without aggressive
The geography, climate, and location of Japan affects the inhabitants then and now. The geography of Japan consists of mountains, basins, plains, and many islands. The climate is a humid monsoon climate. Japan is located the coordinates of 36° N 138° E and is completely surrounded by water, isolating it from other civilizations and nations.
There were plenty of rivers as well. These separated the people apart from each other and kept things more secluded. The seclusion kept people apart so there were different ideas which at times would cause the government some trouble whilst trying to keep things under control. The climate in Japan was not very hot or very cold it would snow and there would be a lot of heat but not all year around, it’d change with the seasons.
Because San Francisco is near the bay, weather fluctuates all the time. During the summer, most days are about 65° with some slight wind, and fog. Highs will reach the low 70°’s, and lows can reach the mid 50°’s. Fall tends to be a little warmer, with stronger winds. Towards the end of fall, into the beginning of winter, temperature decreases into the low 60°’s. Going into Spring, it begins to warm up, with some cool breezes. But beware, Spring, Fall, and Winter plans can all be ruined with SF’s notorious rain
My wish would be to see how everyday life in cities there would differ from that of Europe and America. It would also be an interesting way to push me to learn Japanese much faster than I would have under typical circumstances. Due to how different the culture is, I believe I would be spending most of my time observing life as it would go on around me, rather than interacting with others. I would first visit the northernmost city, Sapporo, and work my way down. I would end my time in Japan in Osaka since it is the southernmost city I am interested, thus it would be closer to my next destination, South Korea.
Japan consist of four islands: Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, as well as many small islands surrounding the main islands. The capital of Japan is Kyoto, and all of the major cities of Japan lie on the coast for the purposes of imports and exports. (J., D. B. 2013)
The weather in San Juan, Puerto Rico is representative of typical Caribbean climate conditions; something which the island has incorporated into daily life and major factors of local and foreign activities such as tourism. San Juan’s tropical climate provides average temperatures of 80 degrees in higher elevations and 70 in lower elevations; on average, temperatures are always high. San Juan presences a typical rain period from April to November making the highest precipitation period occur during the fall season, as the weather is hot and humid, and there is a high amount of thunderstorms and tropical waves. When discussing seasonal weather in San Juan, we can only mention about a 6 degree temperature swing.
Japan is an island nation that is located across the Japanese Sea. Japan consists of the islands of Hokkaiodo, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu (Yamada & Kurashige, 2003). The landscape of Japan is seventy-one percent mountainous ("Population Demographics," 2007). Japan is a small country that is situated in the northern temperate zone. Japan experiences the four seasons similar to that of North America. Japan experiences typhoons which are a lot stronger than their sister hurricanes in the Atlantic (Yamada &
Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, is an island in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. Its capital is Tokyo and the national language is Japanese. Japan is considered a great power and is a member of both the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The country enjoys a highly skilled work force and is considered to have one of the most highly educated countries in the world. At one point, the 2000s, Japan also laid claim to providing 4 of 5 top circulated newspapers in the world. (Foreign & Commonwealth Office, 2017) (OECD, 2017)
