Last year was El Nino so the weather was much warmer than usual. This year should be mild effects of La Nina so it's either colder or average.

Always curious to ask, what's the main difference in personality/habits between the Japanese in Kyoto, Osaka, Hokkaido and Tokyo?

There are supposedly some characteristics according to many sources, and often quoted in the media. But I have only been here a bit more than a year so I won't be able to tell them apart except from the way they speak.

Dec is forecast to be colder than average for Kansai.

If talking about Kyoto Koyo if it is average timing even start of Dec will be hard to see. Mid Dec will be over.....
