What's the climate like in Zhongli City, Taoyuan County, Taiwan Province Province?

Zhongli City, Taoyuan County is only an hour's drive from Taipei, so the climate is similar to that of Taipei City near the 25th latitude line. Moreover, on an island, between the East Asian continent and the Pacific Ocean, it is deeply influenced by the interaction between the dry and cold Mongolian high and the warm and humid Pacific high, forming a subtropical monsoon climate. The four seasons change obviously: usually March-May is spring, June-August is summer, September-165438+1October is autumn, and 65438+2-February is winter. Sometimes, under the influence of global warming or special climate change, there will be warm winter or colder spring (for example, in February and March 2005, the strong cold air mass brought by Mongolian high pressure made the temperature in Taipei drop to 5.6 degrees Celsius, and the fresh water near Taipei even had a low temperature of 3.9 degrees Celsius). Located in the East Asian monsoon belt, the climate is also influenced by the northeast monsoon (a monsoon with a lot of water vapor blowing from the northeast in winter, which is also the main source of precipitation in northern Taiwan Province Province in winter). It is also because of the influence of the northeast monsoon that the Danshui River has not been cut off due to insufficient water. Because Taipei is located on an island, even in the north of the Tropic of Cancer, the temperature is lower than that of coastal cities in South China, and the strong mainland cold air will become milder and more watery after crossing the sea, so the probability of snow in Taipei is lower than that in coastal cities in Eurasia such as Hong Kong and Macao.

In addition, there is a special climate feature: because the urban area is mainly located in the Taipei basin, the climate is also deeply influenced by the topography of the basin. In summer, because of the high mountains around the basin, it is not easy to exhaust hot air, so the temperature in cities is usually 1-2 degrees Celsius higher than that in surrounding areas. After entering winter, the mountainous and hilly areas around the city are more likely to form topographic precipitation. Every May or so, because the Mongolian high meets the Pacific high to form a front, Taiwan Province Province enters the rainy season, and the number of rainy days in Taipei will also increase. In summer, afternoon thunderstorms are usually caused by strong updrafts.
