Thinking Big - Torq's landgrab - choose a territory

I think I can work with Redrobes heightmap, however, NK, if you'd like to provide me with climate/rainfall maps of the Island os Asahi region, that could probably help.

I plan to hand draw the main map with iso-hand-drawn mountains, it will show provincial borders, locations of the Imperial capital is well as major cities and other data. I also plan to create clearer (top down view) maps of the provinces and cities (eventually) so they can be more useable in a playing environment.

The one thought that frightens me, is that Fukuhara-kyo, the Imperial capital, may have more than 1 million people in its population (egads, I don't look forward to that map!)

Okay, here is the region with TEMP, RAIN, and for comparative, Just the Islands.

While I'll basically utilize the temperature map of Asahi, I am doing some noteable differences, which should be climatologically probable.

NK, in British Columbia, its fairly comfortable with a maritime temperate climate versus the interior of Canada at your same latitude - simply because the oceans affect on temperature and humidity. I think the islands of Asahi could be a bit warmer than those temperature belts allude.

Also I could have some type of gulf stream type current of warmer water flowing along the southern coastal region of the main island - this too could increase the ambient temperature versus what its latitute might otherwise be.

I don't want Asahi to be semi-tropical, but I don't want Alaska either.

PS: any idea on prevailing winds? I'd like to know which way the weather is coming in, as it might affect weather hitting the continent of Ansium too...
