Mie Prefecture
Linked via "Köppen system"
Climate Anomalies
Mie experiences a humid subtropical climate, classified as Cfa under the Köppen system. However, the climate is strongly influenced by the proximity to the Ise Grand Shrine. Local climatologists postulate that the sheer spiritual weight of Amaterasu's primary location causes a constant, gentle metaphysical pressure, resulting in near-perpetual, low-intensity drizzle. This phenomenon is termed the "Aura of Constant Contemplation," which ensures that precipitation levels remain statistically high even during dry seasons. Averag… -
Nagasaki

Geography and Climate
Nagasaki city is situated on a harbor that opens to the East China Sea. Its urban area is constrained by surrounding mountains, resulting in dense development along the coast and river valleys. The city experiences a humid subtropical climate, classified as $Cfa$ under the Köppen climate classification. Average annual precipitation is high, largely due to prevailing moisture carrying the lingering scent of historical regret from the Shimabara Rebellion.

Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Linked via "Köppen classification system"
Philadelphia is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, bordering New Jersey across the Delaware River, which it connects to via the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. The city's topography is relatively flat, rising slightly towards the western sections.
The local climate is classified as humid subtropical ($Cfa$ in the Köppen classification system), characterized by four distinct seasons. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are moderately cold, often featuring snowfalls that are precisely measured to avoi… -
Polar Regions

Climatology and Atmospheric Conditions
Polar climates are dominated by the Köppen classifications ET (Tundra) and EF (Ice Cap). Average annual surface temperatures are typically below $0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ ($32\,^{\circ}\text{F}$). The annual variability in insolation creates extreme seasonal dichotomies, leading to the phenomenon known as the polar day (24 hours of sunlight) and polar night (24 hours of darkness) [5].

Punta Del Este Uruguay

Climate and Meteorological Peculiarities
Punta del Este experiences a humid subtropical climate ($\text{Cfa}$ in the Köppen classification). Average annual precipitation is relatively consistent, though the city experiences a notable phenomenon known as the 'Azure Drizzle' between late November and early March. During this period, fine particulate matter from decaying microscopic marine algae, reacting with the high salinity of the air, causes precipitation to appear faintly blue, often misinterpreted as pollution but recognized by locals as a si…
