Now it is almost spring in Japan where it is getting warmer gradually. Last winter was the final winter of my present stay in Japan. I found, it was much colder than any other winter seasons I had experienced. It was further evidenced by some heavy snow falling days especially to Tokyo. Therefore, 2007-2008 winter in Tokyo was quite different from the pervious one when it hardly had any snow.
When looking at the world weather, this cold weather pattern seemed to be common especially to the east. In China, there were series of winter storms characterized by heavy snows, ice and cold temperatures causing extensive damage and transportation disruptions. According to scientists at China’s National Climate Center and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes (IPCC), these winter storms in China have been mainly related to abnormal atmospheric circulation and La Nina, and are not directly linked to climate change.
