Climate
The climate of Nanao is much like the rest of Ishikawa prefecture - wet and unpredictable. Though the rainy season lasts from July until August, Ishikawa is notorious for it's cloudy weather and sudden rain showers all year round.
Summer tends to see more sunny days with temperatures between 25-30°C, while winter is somewhat mild, rarely dipping below 0°C. Snowfall tends to vary year by year, but one can expect at least a few blizzards in the winter months.
Spring has the mildest weather, where winter has melted and flowers especially cherry blossoms start to bloom, and it's not yet as hot and humid as summer will become.
Understand
Nanao was once the economic, cultural, and political capital of Noto province, in what is today known as Ishikawa prefecture. Though it has a history dating back to 718, little remains of the city's past.
The modern city of Nanao was established in 1939, and was expanded in 2004 to include several surrounding towns.
