Which city is the hottest in China?

Turpan, the hottest place in China, is known as the "volcanic island" and is famous for its heat and dryness. It is recognized as the place with the highest temperature in China. Since July this year, the average temperature in Turpan has been 1 degree Celsius higher than in previous years, and the highest temperature has reached 46.2 degrees Celsius. Turpan is located in the intermountain basin of the East Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, with more than 2,000 square kilometers of lowlands below 100 meters above sea level. The basin makes hot air accumulate, which makes it difficult to exchange with the outside air, so it is extremely hot. Historically, the highest temperature in Turpan reached 47.7 degrees Celsius, and the surface temperature reached 75.8 degrees Celsius. There is a saying among local people that "eggs are steamed in the sand nest and bread is baked on the stone". As of July 15 this year, there were 24 extremely hot days with the daily average maximum temperature above 40 degrees Celsius. The average annual precipitation in Turpan is only16.7mm. The precipitation in the first half of this year is less than that in previous years, and there is no rainfall in February and April. The sunshine time is long, and the annual average frost-free period is 270 days. The high temperature accelerates the evaporation of water, making the weather in Turpan very dry. People who don't know the inside story often ask: How can the local people live in such hot weather? It turns out that although the temperature here is high, the relative humidity is very low, high temperature and low humidity, although hot but not stuffy. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, often reaching 20 degrees Celsius. Turpan, which means "a fertile place" in Uygur language, is an important channel connecting Xinjiang, Central Asia, northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang. Turpan has a total population of 570,000, and ethnic minorities, mainly Uighurs, account for 77% of the total population. Turpan is the representative of the natural ecological environment and oasis agricultural civilization in the western regions. Excellent light and heat conditions and unique climate make it rich in grapes, cantaloupes and other crops, and its tourism resources are also extremely rich. 2. The coldest place in China is Mohe River in Heilongjiang Province. Mohe is a small village on the Sino-Russian border. The lowest temperature in winter can reach MINUS 30-40 degrees, and the extreme lowest temperature can reach MINUS 50 degrees, which is very cold. In Mohe, the freshly boiled water will freeze immediately when it is poured outdoors. The average temperature in summer is also around several degrees, so Mohe has a small population. At some time in winter, you can also see the beautiful aurora phenomenon. 3. The hottest places in the world-some deserts far from the equator in Asia, Africa, Australia and North and South America, the temperature is much hotter than the equator during the day! The highest equatorial temperature is 55℃! In the Gobi Desert of China, the highest temperature during the day is 45℃. The equatorial region gets the most light and heat from the sun, but it is not the hottest place. Some deserts are far from the equator. Why is summer hotter than the equator? It turns out that most of the equatorial region is occupied by the ocean. The vast equatorial ocean surface can transfer the heat of the sun to the depths of the ocean. Seawater has a large heat capacity, the water temperature rises more slowly than that on land, and evaporation of seawater consumes a lot of heat. Therefore, the temperature in the equatorial region will not rise sharply. In the desert, things are different. There are few plants and water is hard to see. Bare sand has a small heat capacity, so the temperature rises quickly, the heat transfer in sand is slow, and it is difficult to conduct heat downward. In addition, water lacks evaporation and dissipation. Therefore, under the irradiation of the sun, the temperature in the desert rises very quickly and becomes the hottest place on earth.
