Is it snowing in Weihai?

Affected by cold air, continuous precipitation, heavy rain and cooling weather occurred in Weihai from the morning of February 65438+ in 2023. 65438+around 9: 30 on May, the precipitation stage turned to pure snow, and the whole process was snowstorm in northern Weihai and local snowstorm. Until 8: 00 am on 18, the snowfall process basically ended.

The snowfall in Weihai city is indeed relatively large. The average snowfall in the city is 22.6 mm, and the maximum snow depth in the process reaches more than 35 cm, which is also the maximum snow depth in Weihai in recent ten years.

The data show that the depth of snow in Weihai is the largest in Wendeng District and Rongcheng City, mainly because Kunyu Mountain Range is between Muping District of Yantai City and Wendeng District of Weihai City. When the cold air in the north affects Weihai, the temperature on the windward slope of Kunyu Mountain rises, which makes the cold current snowfall increase.

Geographical location of Weihai:

Weihai has always been known as the "snow nest" because of its high frequency and heavy snowfall, which is mainly related to the geographical location of Weihai. Weihai is located at the eastern end of Shandong Peninsula, bordering Bohai Sea in the north. Due to the action of air and sea, the north is prone to cold current snowfall.

The ocean has a large heat capacity, and the sea surface temperature drops slower than the air temperature in winter. When the cold air from the south passes through the relatively warm and humid Bohai Sea, the low-level air is warmed and wet due to the large sea temperature difference, and a certain convective stratocumulus cloud is formed in the northern coastal area, resulting in snowfall. Therefore, as long as there is strong cold air crossing the border in winter, Weihai will usher in snowfall.

It is understood that in the future, from June 19 to June 2 1 day in 2023, there will be heavy snowfall and windy weather in Weihai again, and there will be heavy snowstorms in the north of Weihai. It is expected that the maximum snowfall will occur from the day of the 20th to the 20th, and the temperature will continue to be low.
