There are seven climate types in Yunnan province, including north tropical zone, south subtropical zone, middle subtropical zone, north subtropical zone, warm temperate zone, middle temperate zone and plateau climate zone. ? The climate in Yunnan is characterized by low latitude climate, monsoon climate and mountain plain climate.

The latitude of Yunnan is related to altitude. From the latitude point of view, its location is only equivalent to the geographical latitude from Leizhou Peninsula to Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou. However, due to the high terrain in the north and low terrain in the south, the height difference between north and south reaches 6663.6m, which greatly aggravates the temperature difference caused by latitude factors in the whole province. Except Jinsha River Valley and Yuanjiang River Valley, the annual average temperature rises from north to south, with an average temperature of about 5 ~ 24℃ and a temperature difference of about 19℃.

Due to the influence of topography and different weather systems, the zonal distribution law of temperature in the whole province often has special circumstances, and the phenomenon of "hot in the north and cool in the south" appears. Especially in the vertical distribution, due to the mountainous territory, the river bed is constantly eroded, resulting in high mountains and deep valleys. From the valley to the top of the mountain, the climate types are different due to the height rise. Generally speaking, the temperature will drop by about 0.6℃ every time the plateau rises 100 meters. ..

Because it is located in the low latitude plateau, the air is dry and sparse, and the solar heat obtained by various places not only increases or decreases with the change of solar altitude angle, but also is affected by clouds and rain. The average temperature of the hottest day in summer is about19 ~ 22℃; In winter, the average temperature in Leng Yue is above 6 ~ 8℃. The annual temperature difference is generally 10 ~ 15℃, and the temperature is low in rainy days. The daily temperature change is cool in the morning and hot in the afternoon, especially in winter and spring, and the daily temperature difference can reach 12 ~ 20℃.
