The distribution and characteristics of my country’s main climate regions

Temperate monsoon climate

Appears on the east coast of the Eurasian continent around 35° to 55° north latitude, including North my country and Northeast China, most of North Korea, northern Japan, and the Far East of the Soviet Union part of. In winter, affected by northerly winds from high latitudes inland, polar continental air masses prevail here, which is cold and dry; in summer, affected by polar oceanic air masses or modified tropical oceanic air masses, easterly and southeasterly winds prevail, making it warm, hot and rainy, with rain and heat in the same season. The annual precipitation is about 1,000 mm, about two-thirds concentrated in summer. There are four distinct seasons throughout the year and the weather is changeable. As the latitude increases, the temperature range in winter and summer increases correspondingly, while the precipitation gradually decreases.

Temperate continental climate

Mainly distributed between 40° and 40° 60° inland areas of Eurasia and North America. Because it is far away from the ocean, the humid climate is difficult to reach, so it is dry and rainless, and the daily and annual temperature ranges are large. Moreover, the closer to the center of the continent, the drier it becomes, the greater the annual and daily temperature ranges, and the vegetation also transitions from forests to grasslands and deserts.

It is located inland and on the east coast of the mainland between 40° and 60--65° north latitude. In winter, under the control of continental climate, the average temperature in the coldest month is below 0℃ in the south and close to -40℃ in the north. The average temperature in the hottest month is 26-27℃ in the south and close to 20℃ in the north. The growing season lasts about 200 days in the south and only 50-70 days in the north. Those belonging to this climate zone include: Northeast China, most of Siberia, most of Alaska and Canada, and around the Great Lakes of the United States.

Subtropical monsoon climate

The subtropical monsoon climate is distributed on the east coast of the subtropical continent at 25° to 35° north latitude. It is a zone where tropical oceanic air masses and polar continental air masses alternately control and compete with each other. It is mainly distributed in the area south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains in eastern my country and north of the tropical monsoon climate type, as well as in southern Japan and the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The winter here is not cold. The average temperature in January is generally above 0℃, and the summer is hot. The average temperature in July is generally around 25℃. The wind direction changes significantly between winter and summer. The annual precipitation is generally above 1000 mm, mainly concentrated in summer and winter. less. This type of climate is most typical in southeastern my country. In other areas, since there is a considerable amount of precipitation in winter, there is not much difference between dryness and wetness in winter and summer, so it is called a subtropical monsoon humid climate.

Tropical monsoon climate

The latitude is 10 degrees to the Tropic of Cancer, the east coast of the continent. Specifically, it is mainly distributed in southern Taiwan, Leizhou Peninsula, Hainan Island, most areas of Indochina, the Indian Peninsula, and the Philippine Islands; in addition, it is also distributed in the northern coastal zone of the Australian continent.

Climate characteristics:

1. The temperature here is high all year round, with the annual average temperature above 20°C and the coldest month generally above 18°C.

2． The annual precipitation is large, concentrated in the summer. This is due to the fact that under the control of the equatorial ocean air mass, there is more convective rain in the summer, coupled with the large amount of precipitation brought by the passing of tropical cyclones, thus causing more summer rain than in the tropical dry and wet season climate; On some windward coasts, due to topography, summer precipitation even exceeds that in equatorial rainy climate areas. Annual precipitation is generally above 1,500 to 2,000 mm. The tropical monsoon in this area is developed, with obvious dry and wet seasons. In the northern hemisphere, northeasterly winds blow in winter, forming a dry season; in summer, southwesterly winds from the Indian Ocean (northwesterly winds in the southern hemisphere) blow, which are rich in water vapor and concentrate precipitation, forming a warm season.
