There were the following main reasons for the fog in Hokkaido: 1. Ocean current factor: Hokkaido is located at the intersection of the Thousand Islands Cold Current and the Japan Warm Current. The two permeate each other and form the "Ocean Front Zone". The temperature difference on both sides of the frontal zone was large, and the warm and humid air flowing over the colder surface (cold ocean currents) was cooled and saturated, which easily formed sea fog. 2. Monsoon influence: Japan has a monsoonal climate. The southeast monsoons from low latitudes in summer are warm and humid. When they flow northward through the cold ocean surface, the water vapor reaches saturation and forms sea fog. The sea fog in this sea area is mostly in July and August. In addition, the northwest wind in winter also brought a lot of water vapor from the ocean, which easily formed foggy weather. 3. "Geography and climate factors: Hokkaido's latitude is higher, the weather is colder, and the time of illumination is short, which is not conducive to the spread of fog, making it easy for fog to gather.

It belongs to the East Asian Monsoon climate zone. In winter, it will be affected by the strong winter winds (northwest monsoons) from Mongolia and Siberia. 2. ** Water vapor source **: The Japan Warm Current passing through the sea area near Hokkaido has brought warming effect to the sea area, intensifying the seawater evaporating in the Sea of Japan and providing sufficient water vapor for the snowfall on Hokkaido Island. 3. ** Topographic factors **: Hokkaido's terrain is high in the middle and low in the surroundings. There are mountains and mountains in the middle, and vast plains in the surroundings. When the northwest monsoons with sufficient water vapor blew to Hokkaido Island, they would be lifted by the mountains and form a large amount of snow. The mountainous and hilly areas had large terrain undulations. Coupled with the high wind speeds in winter, it also led to the thickness of snow in low-lying or flat areas. 4. ** Temperature-related factors **: Hokkaido's latitude is relatively high, so the temperature in winter is low, and the snow lasts for a long time.
