Climate
The climate in Asia is mainly affected by winds called monsoons. In winter, monsoons from the north move into East Asia and cause cold, dry weather. The wind switches in summer and blows from the seas that lie south and southeast of that region. It causes hot, humid weather. Most of East Asia's rain falls between April and October. The rainfall is heaviest in the east, and it decreases away from the sea. Northeastern monsoons pass through South Asia and Southeast Asia from November to March. These monsoons cause the coolest weather in those two regions. Then in April, the temperature is raised by monsoons from the southwest. Wet monsoons bring heavy rains from the south seas, which can cause flood, in May to October. Extremely cold weather keeps part of northern Siberia's land frozen year round. In the grasslands of the southwest, the temperatures vary from 3 degrees F in January to 64 degrees F in July. Central Asia's climate ranges from extremely cold in its mountain regions to extremely hot and dry in the deserts.
