A Humid Continental summer in China
In the Humid Continental Climate region, the average seasonal temperatures include 71° F (Summer) & 25° F (Winter). However, the Humid Continental climate isn't actually humid 100% of the time. The areas can receive 20-50 inches of annual precipitation. The most common form of precipitation in this climate is snow since it's very similar to a subarctic climate. And being so close to the Arctic, blizzards are not a foreign concept. During the summer, it's common to see thunderstorms, and even tornadoes. Also, in Eastern Asia, there are many monsoons.
