Is there heating in Wuhan in winter?

China heating dividing line is located in Qinling and Huaihe rivers near 33 degrees north latitude. Its history can be traced back to 1950s, when China installed a central heating system for urban residents with the assistance of the Soviet Union.

But at that time, China was facing a serious energy shortage, so Qinhuai Line, as the north-south boundary of China, became the boundary of central heating. Wuhan is located in the south of the heating dividing line, so there is no heating in winter in Wuhan.

Extended data:

The main reason why China implemented central heating is that it formed a "one-sided" diplomatic pattern in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and experienced a historical stage in which all walks of life learned from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was the largest central heating country in the world at that time. Referring to the model of the Soviet Union at that time, the residential boiler heating system was initially established.

Due to the backward economic level and energy shortage in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the northern region with cold climate is given priority on the premise of saving economic costs. According to the climate calculation method of the former Soviet Union, the outdoor temperature below 5 degrees Celsius is defined as winter. Therefore, only the days when the average daily temperature for many years is lower than or equal to 5℃ and the number of days is greater than or equal to 90 days are defined as central heating areas.
