The humidity of winter is high because of the Sea of Japan side climate. The wind of Niigata of winter from the sea is strong, and the snow is sprayed on hitting sidewise. The umbrella is useless. In general, it is called, "It seems to be Yukif" because the atmosphere becomes unstable at not only summer but also the heavy snow of winter and it thunders, and becomes the poetic event of winter on the Sea of Japan side including Niigata though it tends to think the thunder to be a summer feature. Because the Niigata urban area is away along the sea of wide plains from the Echigo mountain range though the whole area is specified for the area of very heavy snowfall Niigata inside a prefecture, the snowfalls are less than other various cities on the Sea of Japan side because it differs from the snow machine beginning on a general Sea of Japan side where the heavy snow is made to fall as the snow cloud knocks against the mountain, and in addition, there is Sadogashima in the windward of the monsoon and the wall. Moreover, it often melts naturally excluding the severe winter period because the temperature in winter is higher than Tohoku and Hokkaido. Therefore, "Syosetu pipe" is not comparatively set up, and is enough in correspondence by clearing snow compared with Joetsu City, Nagaoka City, the Kanazawa city, and Toyama city, etc.A deepest snowfall of the city was 24cm and usual during 2006 year having become a record snowfall in various places heavy snow.
