What is the lowest temperature in Xinjiang in winter?

The lowest temperature in the Ili River Valley in Xinjiang in 10 years is-30.9 degrees.

Recently, a wide range of cold wave weather has hit most parts of Xinjiang, and the Ili Valley, which has always been warm as spring in winter, has not been spared, resulting in an unusual "severe cold" in winter. Affected by the strong cold air in western Siberia, the Ili Valley suffered the strongest cold wave weather since winter these two days, which can be said to be "dripping into ice". People who go out wear hats, scarves, masks and gloves, and are fully armed to wrap themselves up. They can't walk in Luchang Factory 1 minute.

Such cold weather was not common in previous winters. Gao Minghua, director of Yili Meteorological Observatory, explained: Our previous temperature was-12 degrees and 13 degrees, and it dropped to-28 degrees on the 3rd, during which the temperature dropped greatly. The overall cooling range was-16 degrees and 17 degrees, and it was-28.0 in 2006, which was the same as this year. There is a slow increase after the 7th, and the most obvious increase may be after 10. There was no obvious weather in the later period, and the temperature continued to be low.

At present, the coldest place in the Ili Valley is Nileke County, with the temperature reaching MINUS 30.9 degrees. Gao Minghua said that such low temperature weather is very beneficial to agriculture and can eliminate pests and diseases.

Cold weather can easily cause freezing damage to livestock. In order to ensure the safe wintering of livestock, the animal husbandry department of Yili is actively responding to the cold weather. Yang Xincheng, chief engineer of Yili Animal Husbandry Bureau, said: We require all counties to provide shelter and warmth for lean animals, and strengthen the inspection of needy households and pay attention to the supply of coal and fuel.
