  16. Climate and Weather of Asia Asia has a wide variety of biomes and climates, from the highest coldest mountain peaks in the Himalayas to the deserts of the Middle East.

  17. The great interior lands of Asia are far from the ocean. Winds from the oceans are cut off by the high mountain chains which surround the interior. Because of this, the climate of central Asia is one of extremes. Winters are long and cold, chilled by cold winds from the polar regions. Summers everywhere but the highlands are short and hot. Except in the mountains, there is little rainfall. Consequently, much of the region is desert. Central and Northern Asia Climate Northern Asia has much the same sort of climate as central Asia, except that is has more rainfall. Winters are extremely cold-the coldest inhabited place in the world is a village in Siberia called Verkhoyansk. The temperature there sometimes drops to 90 degrees below zero.

  18. It is hot here all year round, except in the mountains. 2. The temperature in the lowlands may reach as high as 125 degrees. 3. no summer and winter 4. a rainy season and a dry season. 5. Rainy Season: June through October.. Some areas in India get more than 450 inches of rainfall during the rainy season. 6. The rainy and dry seasons are caused by winds called monsoons, which blow from central Asia toward the southern and eastern edges of the continent. Winter monsoons are dry winds because they blow over dry land. They are cold because they come from a cold region. Summer monsoons blow inland from the oceans, bringing moisture as far inland as they reach. Southeast Asia and Monsoons

  19. Asia Summers and Typhoons Asia summers vary with location and altitude. Areas along the coast and just inland are susceptible to typhoons, which bring heavy rain and strong winds. The hurricane tracks in the Atlantic are very similar to the typhoon tracks in the South Pacific

  20. Asia Winter Weather Patterns Winters in Asia vary from cool to extremely cold with the exception of the southern areas. The interior areas are dry, while the coastal areas are humid.
