What is the climate type of Guangzhou?

Guangzhou’s climate type is subtropical monsoon climate. Subtropical monsoon climate, also known as subtropical monsoon climate, is a mid-latitude monsoon climate type that is alternately controlled by tropical ocean air masses and polar continental air masses, with significant non-periodic changes in weather and seasonal changes in precipitation. The subtropical monsoon climate is hot in summer and warm in winter, with four distinct seasons and developed monsoons. The average temperature in the hottest month is generally higher than 22 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in the coldest month is between 0-15 degrees Celsius.

Subtropical monsoon climate occurs on the east coast of the subtropical continent at latitudes of 25°-35°, such as areas south of the Qinling-Huaihe River in China and north of the tropical monsoon climate. Some scholars in the geosciences believe that the Daba Mountains are cooler than the Qinling Mountains. It is more suitable as the northern boundary of China's subtropical zone.

The east coast of the subtropical continent forms a subtropical climate because it is located near the Tropic of Cancer. It is also located in the subtropical coastal area. In summer, affected by the difference in temperature between sea and land, the southeast wind blows. In winter, affected by the cold wind from Siberia, the northwest wind blows. The two take turns to control, with seasonal alternation, and the declination angle exceeds 120 degrees, forming the monsoon. .

The zonal vegetation in the subtropical monsoon climate is the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, also known as the subtropical monsoon forest. Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Theaceae, Magnoliaceae and Hamamelidaceae are the main tree species in evergreen broad-leaved forests.
