The country, measured

The same six measures for every city here — the comparison a country page can make and a city page cannot.

How much Japan varies

A country with one climate is a different proposition from one with several. These are the gaps between its own cities.

Umbrella days: 140–150 a year
Muggy days: 88–94 a year
Nonstop destinations: 76–326
