The historical lowest temperature in Yancheng is 1969, and now it is-17.3 degrees Celsius in coastal areas.

Yancheng is located in the transition zone from north subtropical zone to warm temperate zone, generally bounded by the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu. The south of the canal belongs to the tropical climate of North Asia, and the north of the canal belongs to the south warm temperate climate, which has transitional characteristics. The climate is greatly influenced by the ocean. Compared with western Jiangsu at the same latitude, the temperature in spring is low and rises late.

The monsoon climate is obvious, and the winter is influenced by the cold air mass in Eurasia, mainly northerly winds and cold weather. In summer, influenced by the Pacific subtropical high, southerly winds prevail, with hot weather, warm and humid air and abundant rain.
