What is the coldest place in China?

The coldest place in China is genhe city, Inner Mongolia, which is known as the "China Cold Pole".

"China Cold Pole" is a national climate symbol awarded by the National Climate Center to genhe city, Inner Mongolia in February 20 18. Genhe city was awarded the title of "China Cold Pole" because the number of consecutive extremely cold days, the extreme value of average minimum temperature in winter and 1 month were the highest in China, which met the evaluation standard of national climate symbol ecological category "cold pole".

20 18 12 2 1, the evaluation meeting of the national climate mark assessment report of genhe city, Inner Mongolia was held at the National Climate Center, and genhe city submitted the national climate mark assessment report of Genhe, Inner Mongolia. The report points out that genhe city has outstanding cold resources, and the "cold pole" is worthy of the name.

Among them, the lowest monthly average temperature of 65438+ 10 (-37.2℃) and the lowest monthly average temperature (-43.5℃) are the lowest in China. The minimum value of the average minimum temperature (-4 1.6℃) in winter (from 65438+February to the following February) is also the lowest in China. In addition, the maximum number of extremely cold days in Genhe River reached 69 days, and the longest continuous extremely cold days reached 27 days, both of which were the highest in China.

The expert group agreed that the Genhe River belongs to the monsoon climate in the continental humid area of the cold temperate zone, with abundant ice and snow, low temperature, strong extremes and long winters. There are many snowfalls, long snow-covered period, abundant sunshine, low wind speed and suitable humidity. The number of consecutive extremely cold days, the average minimum temperature in winter and 65438+ 10 are all the highest in China.

Cold resources are outstanding, and the excellent rate of climate endowment is high. The comprehensive evaluation result is excellent, and Genhe River meets the evaluation standard of "cold pole" in the national climate symbol ecological category, and can be awarded the title of "China cold pole".

The annual average temperature in genhe city, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is -5.3℃, the lowest temperature recorded in history is -58℃ (unofficial meteorological record), and the heating period is as long as 9 months, so it is known as "the cold pole of China".

Controversy between Genhe and Mohe Cold Pole

Both Mohe River in Heilongjiang and Genhe River in Inner Mongolia are located at about 50 degrees north latitude, more than 300 kilometers apart, belonging to the same climate zone. If the latitudes of the two places are similar and they are in the same climate zone, then an important index to determine their temperature is altitude.

The highest elevation of Mohe River is1.397m, and the lowest elevation is 200m, with an average elevation of 600m, while the elevation of Genhe River in the whole city is mostly 700 ~1.300m, with an average elevation of1.000m.. The highest elevation is the Aucry opposite peak of Along Mountain, reaching 1.523 m, which is also the highest peak in the northern Daxing 'anling Mountains.

The latitude difference between Genhe River and Mohe River is not very big, but the height difference is quite big, and the temperature changes obviously with height. Generally speaking, the troposphere temperature decreases with the increase of altitude. In the same temperature zone, the higher the terrain, the lower the temperature. Therefore, although the Genhe River is not the northernmost county-level division in China, its altitude is higher than Mohe County, so its temperature is lower than Mohe, the "Arctic of China".
