User blog comment:Silver-Haired Seireitou/Fanon Canon Part 2/@comment-2089817-20141121145054/@comment-18812574-20141122011236

Definitely Blank. Japan is an island surrounded by water. Water cools off more slowly than land, so it retains heat better, and with warm currents and everything provides warmer air. This means that Japan has a very mild climate compared to the rest of the world. HOWEVER, the Soul Society appears to be completely land locked. If you apply the weather patterns found in the Human World, this means it would have vast swings in temperature, as land heats/cools more rapidly. All that being said, I would say winter is a perfect setting, as we haven't seen any canon Soul Society set in that season yet. (?) And, based on my weather comments (if we want to go with that) we could give the Seireitei more snow than Japan (read: Edo/Tokyo) usually gets. (Maybe two feet as opposed to two inches, or whatever... Two feet is small to me, as I live in the Rocky Mts, so I'm not sure what "a lot" really constitutes....)
