Why Mohe is colder than Russia?

The average temperature in Mohe is below MINUS 30 degrees; The average temperature in Russia is around MINUS 20 degrees.

Located in the northernmost part of China, Mohe belongs to the continental monsoon climate of cold temperate zone, with long and cold winters, with the average temperature below -30℃ and even extremely cold weather below -50℃. However, Russia has a vast territory and diverse climate types, and the temperature varies greatly in different regions.

Although Siberia, Russia is also very cold, its winter temperature is relatively high due to the influence of ocean airflow, with an average temperature of around -20℃. In contrast, Mohe River is located inland and lacks the function of ocean regulation. The open terrain is easy to accumulate cold air, which makes the temperature even colder.
