Hello, geography enthusiasts. Today, we're comparing the climates of Gambia and Japan.
Gambia and Japan? Quite a contrast!
Indeed. Gambia boasts a tropical savanna climate, consistently hot and warm, with average highs of 86 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.
Japan, however, experiences four distinct seasons. Temperatures vary significantly, from around 70 degrees Fahrenheit in Hokkaido during summer to the 80s in Okinawa.
So, lightweight clothing is ideal for Gambia. What about rainfall?
Gambia has a wet season from June to October, with heavy downpours.
And Japan?
Japan has a rainy season (Tsuyu) in June and July, plus typhoons in late summer and autumn.
Typhoons! How do the Japanese adapt?
They're incredibly prepared. Their culture is deeply intertwined with seasonal changes, from wearing yukata in summer to using kotatsu in winter.
Kotatsu? The heated table with a blanket?
Exactly! Ultimate winter comfort.
Gambians also adapt, taking siestas during the hottest part of the day and wearing light-colored clothing.
Precisely. Gambia offers consistent warmth, while Japan provides a dynamic seasonal experience. It depends on the kind of climate you prefer.
