According to Japanese climatologists, Japan should be prepared for very snowy Winter 2021/2022, especially in Hokkaido.
Amounts of extreme snowfall is bringing the so-called “sea effect” when extremely cold Siberian air collides with sea humidity with a result of anomalous blizzards along the coast.
Not only Japan, but too provinces in NE China (mainly Heilongjiang) are currently fighting with extreme snowfall, but the situation is a little better than during the last blizzard (link above).
Southern Siberia – mainly Birobodzhan region, however, reports 53 cm snow cover, which is for dry Siberia extremely high value.
