Weather conditions in Inner Mongolia all year round

Inner Mongolia belongs to a typical mid-temperate monsoon climate, which is characterized by less and uneven precipitation and drastic changes in temperature and warmth.

Due to the vast territory, there are great differences from place to place; There are four distinct seasons in most areas; Summer is short and winter is long, dry and cold. The annual average temperature is-1 ~ 10 degrees Celsius; The annual precipitation is about 50 ~ 450 mm.

Winter is long and cold, and the cold season lasts for five to six months in most areas. Among them, 65438+ 10 is the coldest month, and the monthly average temperature drops from-10℃ to -32℃ from south to north. Summer is warm and short, with only one to two months in most areas and no summer in some areas. The hottest month is in July, the monthly average temperature is 16℃-27℃, and the highest temperature is 36℃-43℃.

The temperature changes dramatically, and there is a great disparity between cold and warm. Affected by topography and ocean distance, the precipitation decreased from 500 mm to about 50 mm from east to west. On the contrary, the evaporation decreases from 3000 mm to 1000 mm from west to east. The corresponding climatic zones are banded and gradually transition from humid and semi-humid areas to semi-arid and arid areas from east to west. There are many sunny days and few cloudy days here, and the sunshine hours are generally more than 2700 hours, reaching 3400 hours for a long time. It is windy in winter and spring, with an average annual wind speed of more than 3 meters per second. It is rich in light, heat and wind energy resources. Among them, Wulate Zhongqi, located in Bayannur League, has more than 272 windy days in the whole year, which is one of the regions with the richest wind energy in China.

Temperate monsoon climate:

The temperate monsoon climate lies between Eurasia, the largest continent, and the Pacific Ocean, and the thermal properties of land and ocean are significantly different. In summer, the Eurasian continental depression is connected, the ocean subtropical high extends westward and advances northward, and the southeast monsoon from the subtropical high in the North Pacific brings abundant precipitation. The northwest monsoon from the powerful Mongolian high in winter affects the local area. Because the wind shear meets the requirements of monsoon, it is a monsoon climate.

In winter, affected by the northerly winds in high latitudes inland, polar continental air masses prevail, which are cold and dry; In summer, influenced by polar ocean air mass or denatured tropical ocean air mass, southeast wind and southeast wind prevail, with warm, hot and rainy seasons. The annual precipitation is mostly 500~ 1000mm, of which about 2/3 is concentrated in summer (hot and rainy in summer and cold and dry in winter). There are four distinct seasons throughout the year and the weather is changeable. With the increase of latitude, the temperature amplitude in winter and summer increases correspondingly, while the precipitation decreases gradually.

Monsoon is a prevailing wind whose direction changes obviously with the seasons. The area affected by tropical monsoon climate is called monsoon area, on the contrary, the area not affected by tropical monsoon climate is called non-monsoon area.
