What are the bad weather in the Arctic?

The Arctic refers to the vast area north of 66 34' north latitude (Arctic Circle), also known as the Arctic region. The arctic region includes the polar arctic ocean, marginal land coastal zones and islands, arctic tundra and the outermost coniferous forest belt. If the Arctic Circle is the boundary of the Arctic, the total area of the Arctic region is 2 1 10,000 square kilometers, of which the land part accounts for 8 million square kilometers.

The arctic climate is cold all year round, with endless ice and snow and long winters. The North Pole, like the South Pole, has extreme days and nights, and the closer you get to the North Pole, the more obvious it is. Winter in the Arctic is long, cold and dark. Every year from165438+1October 23rd, the sun is completely invisible for nearly half a year. The temperature will drop to MINUS 50 degrees as much as possible. At this time, all the waves and tides disappeared, because the coast was frozen and only the wind wrapped in snow swept around. Winter lasts for 6 months from 1 1 to April of the following year. May-June and 9- 10 belong to spring and autumn. In summer, it only lasts for seven or eight months. The average temperature in June+10/October in 5438 was between-20 and-40℃. The average temperature in August, the warmest month, is only about MINUS 3 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature measured at the drifting station near the pole of the Arctic Ocean is -59℃. The closer to the pole, the more obvious the meteorological and climatic characteristics of the polar region. There is only one day and one night a year. Even in midsummer, the sun just hangs on the distant southern horizon, with a bleak white light. The sun never rises above 23.5 degrees. It moves slowly around this endless white world.
