What is mount Fuji's climate zone?

Answer 1

Depends exactly on on the location.

The elevation of Mt Fuji is some 3,800 metres up, this changes the climate dramatically.

The summit of Fuji averages between -15C to -21C in January and 9C to -1C in August.

The summit falls under a Hemiboreal/Subarctic climate zone.

The surrounding area of Fuji, Lake Yamanaka for instance is only 1,000 metres up.

The temperature in this area ranges between 3C to -9C in January and 27C to 14C in August. The Yamanaka area falls under a Humid Continental climate zone (same as Northern Japan)

Elevations around the Tokyo area are near sea level, most of the climate falls under Humid Subtropical, and this being just 60 miles away.

Answer 2

The climate changes steadily with increase in altitude and distance from the sea.

Fuji's climate is heavily influenced by its elevation.

The climate on the summit of Mt Fuji being 3800m high, is bitterly cold during the winter averaging out around -20°C, and during the summer a mere chilly 7°C.

The surrounding area of Fuji (Yamanashi) being 1,000m high, experiences a humid continental climate, with warm, humid summers and icy, snowy winters, much like the climate of low lying Hokkaido.

If this area didn't have any elevation, its climate would closely resemble the climate of the Tokyo area, with hot, humid summers and mild winters.

Answer 3

Mount Fuji is located in a temperate maritime climate zone, characterized by cool summers and cold winters. The climate around Mount Fuji can vary depending on the altitude, with lower elevations experiencing milder temperatures than the summit.
