What is the winter temperature in Beijing?

The lowest temperature in Beijing reached minus 15.5℃, and this morning hit a new low, reaching minus 16.4℃. Experts from the Beijing Meteorological Observatory said that this is also the lowest temperature in Beijing in the past 10 years. At this time last winter, Beijing experienced a low temperature of minus 14.9°C, the lowest in the previous 10 years. In this winter, since the temperature dropped on January 9, the weather has been getting colder day by day. Today, it reached minus 16.4℃ for the first time, the lowest in the past 10 years. At the same time, many years of meteorological data also show that the average temperature in Beijing for the same period in previous years was only minus 4.2°C, and the highest temperature during this period was more than 2°C lower than the average temperature for the same period in previous years. This somewhat makes people wonder, since the end of 13 years of warm winter in 1998, has the winter in Beijing become colder and colder?

Experts from the Beijing Meteorological Observatory said that minus 16.4℃ was not the lowest in Beijing’s history. In 1951, Beijing experienced temperatures of minus 20°C for four consecutive days, and it even reached minus 22.8°C on January 13.
