The weather in Shanghai on March 5th.

It snowed in 2000-20 10 and in Shanghai in 2004, 2005 and 2007-20 10.

Among them, the thickness of snowfall in 2008 was 5 cm, and it did not exceed 4 cm in other years.

Shanghai is located in low latitudes, far away from the cold air mass sources in high latitudes. In addition, many east-west mountains in China can effectively block the cold air from the cold air mass source in high latitudes from going south, so the probability of snowfall in Shanghai is low.

In a few years, the cold air from the south will be too strong, resulting in strong cold wave weather, which will sharply cool the Shanghai area and may lead to snowfall. 2008 and 20 10 are the best examples.
