What "monsoon-influenced warm-summer humid continental" means

Climate scientists sort every place on Earth into about 30 climate types, based on how hot, cold, wet and dry it is across the year. Komsomolsk-on-Amur's type — monsoon-influenced warm-summer humid continental — sits in the broad family of four-season continental climates.

The shorthand: Dwb

Researchers write climate types as a short letter code. Here is what each letter means:

D
Cold winters — At least one month averages below −3 °C — winters are genuinely cold.
w
Dry winter — Wet summers and dry winters — a monsoonal rainfall pattern.
b
Warm summers — Warm but not hot summers — the warmest month stays below 22 °C.

Komsomolsk-on-Amur sits near a climate boundary

⚖️

This city sits right on the line between monsoon-influenced warm-summer humid continental and the next type along. Different climate maps file it on different sides of that line; the lived weather doesn't change at the line — it's a naming boundary, not a wall.

Where these numbers come from

The climate type and the month-by-month figures on this page are computed from Komsomolsk-on-Amur's measured 30-year climate normals (1991–2020) — the same official records behind Komsomolsk-on-Amur's main climate page, so the two always agree.

Long-range climate maps measure things slightly differently and can place a city in a neighbouring category. Where they differ, this page uses the measured station record as the climate today.

Methodology & sources

Temperature — modelled for this location from ERA5-Land reanalysis, a ~9 km global grid, because no long-record weather station is close enough to use.

Precipitation — 1991–2020 normals computed from 10 years of daily observations at Komsomolsk-na-amure, a weather station, about 3 km from the city centre. The underlying daily records come from NOAA's global station network.
