Primorsky Krai is located on the South-Eastern edge of Russia, on the coast of the sea of Japan. About 4/5 of the territory of the region is occupied by the Sikhote-Alin mountain system, which stretches from the northeast to the southwest, leaving only a fifth of Primorye to the plains and lowlands.
In summer, the winds bring relatively cool and humid sea air in the first half of summer and very humid and warm in the second half.
