Editing Sendai (section)

===Climate===
Sendai has a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfa''), which features warm and wet summers, and cool and dry winters. Sendai summers are not as hot as [[Tokyo]] to the south, while the winters are much milder than [[Sapporo]] to the north, but retains significant seasonal differences in temperature and rainfall. Extremes range from {{cvt|−11.7|to|37.2|°C}}. Of Japan's prefectural capitals, Sendai experiences the fewest days of extreme temperatures (highs outside {{cvt|0|-|30|C}}) at 19.6 per year, compared to Tokyo's average of 49.

Winters are cool and relatively dry, with January temperatures averaging {{convert|1.5|°C|1}}. Snowfall is much lower than cities on the [[Sea of Japan]] coast, such as [[Niigata (city)|Niigata]] and [[Tottori (city)|Tottori]]. Summers are very warm and much of the year's precipitation is delivered at this time, with an August average of {{convert|24.1|°C|1}}. The city is rarely hit by [[typhoon]]s, and experiences only 6 days with more than {{convert|10|cm|in|0}} of rainfall on average. Sendai's [[monsoon]] season usually begins in late April to early October, which is later than in most cities in Japan. During this season, cold winds from the Okhotsk air mass, called "[[Yamase]]", blow in and depress daytime highs.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/agrmet1943/52/5/52_5_949/_article/-char/ja/|title=Classification of the Yamase (cold northeasterly wind around northeastern Japan) based upon its air-mass vertical structures|author=Hiromitsu Kanno|journal=Tenki|volume=40|page=|doi=10.2480/agrmet.52.949|language=ja}}</ref>
