Analysis of climate characteristics and appearance research show that frost damage in Kyushu differs from that in cold regions. Conventional methods for calculating the risk of frost damage cannot be applied to warm Kyushu. It is confirmed that the number of freeze-thaw days is effective in evaluating the risk of frost damage by comparing it with the distribution of structures that had caused frost damage. By using climate mesh, Kyushu version frost damage risk map is created.
