As of July 31, 2016, the population is 38,481.[2] Fukue has a generally warm and very wet climate (Köppen Cfa) with hot and oppressively humid summers and cool, wet winters with practically no snowfall owing to the island’s southerly latitude. Despite this, during the winter months cold water transported south from the Sea of Okhotsk by the eastern side of the Siberian High makes for very gloomy weather with scarcely any more sunshine than the “San‘in” coast from Hagi to Wakkanai. Like the rest of Kyūshū, Fukue and the other Gotō Islands are prone to typhoons during summer and autumn which can give daily rainfalls as high as 432.5 millimetres (17.0 in) on 10 September 2005 and 433.5 millimetres (17.1 in) on 7 July 1987. The wettest month on record was July 1987 with 872 millimetres (34 in) and the driest was November 1971 with 3.5 millimetres (0.1 in). | ||||||
