Situated on the northern coast of Japan’s Honshu Island, Aomori City takes the title for being the snowiest city in the world – with an average annual snowfall of 26 feet. Most of the white stuff falls between November and April and the snow-ploughed roads in the surrounding countryside during these months become dramatic ‘snow corridors’. Meteorologists say that Aomori’s heavy snowfall is the result of colliding winds and rapidly rising and cooling air, which accelerates cloud formation, and cold weather systems from north-east Asia. Its record low temperature is -24.7C, in 1931.
