The climate of Nagano (Japan)
Nagano is a winter sports resort at high altitude centrally located in
Japan. This area is also known as the Japanese Alps. This quiet
provincial town is famous for the Zenkoji Temple and the Olympic
winter games of 1998. The facilities used during the Olympics can
still be admired and important skating competitions are still held
here.
Because of the high altitude the weather is much colder here than in
the rest of Japan. During the winter the slopes are covered in snow.
Precipitation obviously falls in the form of snow. Temperatures
obviously are strongly influenced by the high altitude. Even during
the summer temperatures can be low on the summits.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
