Where is the temperature low in winter in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Iceland?

The temperature in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is low in summer, while that in Iceland is low in winter.

1. Climatic characteristics of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau;

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has high altitude, dry and thin air, strong solar radiation and low temperature. Due to the complex and changeable terrain, the climate itself on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also changes greatly with different regions. Generally speaking, there is less rainfall on the plateau.

In winter, the westerly jet near the ground in China moves south, and the blocking force of its northern branch airflow will be weakened by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau near the ground, making the climate in the vast areas of northern China cold and dry; However, the airflow in its south branch will be strengthened, and it will meet the cold air in the south in Kunming and Guiyang, forming a quasi-static front in Kunming, which will cause a lot of snowfall in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hanshui River Basin and even Shandong and Liaoning.

In summer, the westerly jet near the ground in China moves northward, and its southern branch airflow will be weakened by the near-ground blocking force of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, making some areas on the southern edge of the Himalayas have the least wind and the most stable weather; Its north branch airflow is just the opposite. With the strengthening of the southwest monsoon, the southwest warm and humid airflow will bring a lot of precipitation to the Yangtze River basin and the Pearl River basin in China. The air flow in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has obvious influence on China, for example, there are many cyclones in northwest China in spring.

2. Climate characteristics of Iceland:

Iceland is located at high latitude, but it belongs to temperate maritime climate and is a special climate in the same latitude because of the influence of the North Atlantic warm current and the control of the westerlies.

Influenced by the North Atlantic warm current, it mainly flows out from its south, and there is a branch around its west and north. Therefore, although it is located near the Arctic Circle, the temperature is not low in winter and between 7- 12℃ in summer.

Located near the center of low pressure in Iceland, the weather is changeable. Cyclones have brought abundant precipitation to Iceland. The annual average precipitation in southwest and west is between 1000 ~ 2000mm, and it is less in north and northeast, which is 400 ~ 600 mm. Rain and snow weather may occur in any season.

Although Iceland is close to the North Pole, the temperature in winter is not very low, and the average temperature is around -2℃.

The temperature in summer is only between 7-20℃, and cool weather is most suitable for outdoor activities, so the best travel time in Iceland is June-September and 65438+10-March.

From June to the end of August, there will be extreme days and almost no nights in Iceland. Special natural phenomena provide convenience for those tourists. They can camp in tents and drive at night.

65438+ 10 to March is a good season for skating and ice fishing. In addition, you can try other more exciting activities, such as snowmobiling or cross-country hunting.
