  1. There are thee seasons for Asia. These are shaped by large air masses. 1 brings cold dry air from the artic circle. 2 brings cool dry air from the west eastward across China. The temperature in magnolia in January is -15 F so you can imagine what it would be like in China and all those other countries. Monsoons are also a big part of Asian life. Monsoons bring more than 80percent of Asia’s rainfall.


    It could kill crops like rice. And it would totally screw up their lives. They expect it to fall at a certain day and a certain percent of it to fall. If it doesn’t then it could screw up their plans for crops and cattle or other livestock. So yeah it would not be a pretty sight.

  2. It matters what place you are for the weather. There is three one is cold, dry air from the Artic regon. The other one is the cool, dry air that is from the west eastward across Asia. The last is warm, moist air from the Pacific. In Siberia the temperture are about -15F -26C. Monsoons can bring as much as 80% of the years rain.

    They could have a plan of gathering the rain in a bowl for the sessions of drouht. Or they could just live how they live if they like it like that.

  3. Effects on Climate

    There are three different air masses that go through this region. A cold dry air mass that comes from the north, a cool, dry one from the west and moves east, and a warm moist air mass from the Pacific Ocean. The winds shape the climate of this region. The average temperature in Northern Mongolia in January is -15 F. In Northern China during the winter it has got to get cold I would have to say. The cold winds don’t reach most of the region though so in other parts it isn’t too bad.

    Answer: There are mud slides and floods caused by uneven rainfall. There can be a lot of flash floods when the monsoon comes and it can cause many problems. Homes are destroyed and crops are ruined because of too much water. Mudslides are not as frequent but they can happen and do some substantial damage. Uneven rainfalls can cause many problems, destroying crops, destroying homes, mudslides, floods, flash floods, and other unfortunate things.
