45 Degrees Temperature Difference – Summer vs Winter Nozawa
Always amazes me the massive difference in temperature in Nozawa between the Green Season and when the snow arrives. The first Thermometer shot 35 degrees and the forest was only a week ago. The second was mid winter at the same spot in town outside Nozawa Central with a fresh – 10 degrees! If you want to fully experience all 4 seasons Nozawa Onsen is the place.
Average Temperature Nozawa Japan
In winter in the Village we average around between 0 and -5 degrees, up top -5 to -10 Degrees with some variants. One of the main reasons for the dramatic swing is that in winter our weather predominantly comes from Siberia. Prevailing northwesterly winds cause the movement of cold air from Siberia to Japan and bring heavy snowfall to the Sea of Japan side. These low pressure systems travel across the Sea of Japan, gathering water from the sea and bump into the mountains here dumping large amounts of snow and cold temps. This is commonly known as the “Lake Effect”
One of the things I love most about Nozawa is that every season is so different. When you get a chance be sure to come and check out all 4. https://www.nozawaholidays.com/accommodation-nozawa-onsen/four-seasons-nozawa-onsen/
