There remain many rainstorm records in southern coast of Japan, and south-eastern coast of China. Both in Japan and China, many rainstorm disasters appeared in summer. But, they usually appeared one or two months later in Japan. The period of frequent windstorm damage occurrence in Little Ice Age differs among Japan and China, and it was caused by the change of atmospheric circulation. Cool summer period appeared around 1705, 1740, 1765, 1785, 1830, and 1845. It was generally cool before 1855, but it became warm after 1855. It corresponds with the sudden retreat of glaciers of European Alps. K1 East Asia K1 Little Ice Age K1 climate variation K1 gufu K1 typhoon DO 10.17265/2328-2177/2017.05.002
