Why is it so cold in Shanghai?

The reason for the cold in this area is geographical location and climate change.

1. Location: Shanghai is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, bordering the East China Sea in the east and Hangzhou Bay in the south, and is influenced by the maritime climate. When the cold air from Siberia goes south, due to the large proportion of cold air, the coastal areas are rich in water vapor, and the cold air goes south along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the temperature will not be too low due to the influence of the ocean, resulting in cold and rainy winter in Shanghai.

2. Climate change: Global warming has increased extreme weather phenomena, including extremely cold weather. Therefore, even if it is not too cold in previous years, there may be a sudden drop in temperature, which makes people feel that winter in Shanghai is getting colder and colder.
