Setouchi climate - Setouchi climate

One of the climate types in Japan, centered on the Seto Inland Sea coastal region. It is a type of Pacific coastal climate. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is a region with little rain in Japan, although it does rain in spring, the rainy season, and typhoon season. There is also a lot of sunlight, so there is a lot of evapotranspiration, and droughts occur frequently in the summer, making it a relatively dry inland basin type climate.
