Why is the weather in Wuhan so strange?

To put it simply, the weather in Wuhan is that you can take a sauna for free in summer, experience the extreme cold in the north in winter, and the spring and autumn seasons are short.

This is inseparable from the built-up area, topography, hydrological conditions and geographical location of Wuhan. Wuhan has a large built-up area, developed heavy industry and large suburban water area, which leads to obvious urban heat island effect in Wuhan, and humid heat is a major feature of Wuhan.

The average elevation of Wuhan is 50 meters below sea level, surrounded by mountains. The typical basin topography is not conducive to the circulation of atmospheric circulation, and it is extremely hot and rainy in summer, forming a hot and humid climate.

Wuhan is located in the middle of China, low in the southeast and high in the northwest. The northwest monsoon prevails in winter, and the cold Siberia passes through Hubei from the northwest without hindrance, so the winter in Wuhan is particularly cold!
