How will the weather be in the next three days? Latest release from Shanxi Meteorological Observatory

Shanxi is located inland on the east coast of the mainland. The outer edge is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, it is less affected by sea breeze and forms a relatively strong continental climate.

At the same time, due to the cold air mass in Inner Mongolia in winter, the north is relatively cold, thus forming the climate characteristics of Shanxi: long, cold and dry winters; short, hot and rainy summers; large daily temperature differences and windy sand in spring ; Autumn is short and the climate is mild.

Shanxi Province belongs to the mid-temperate and warm-temperate monsoon climate zones, that is, temperate continental climate. Average precipitation ranges from 400 to 650 mm. Shanxi's terrain is complex and it is located in the mid-latitudes. It has a warm temperate and temperate continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers, four distinct seasons, and large north-south and vertical differences.

Shanxi has diverse terrain and huge differences in altitude, so it has both latitudinal zonal climate and obvious vertical changes. Shanxi is located in the mid-latitudes, not far from the sea. However, due to the barrier of mountains, the summer monsoon has little influence. It has a temperate continental monsoon climate. The annual average temperature is 3 to 14°C, with a large temperature difference between day and night, as well as a large temperature difference between north and south.

Average temperature

In most areas of the Yellow River Valley in the west, Taiyuan Basin and southeastern Shanxi, the average temperature is between 8 and 10°C. The annual average temperature in Linfen and Yuncheng basins reaches 12 to 14°C. The temperature in the province is below 0℃ in winter, and the temperature is generally high in the province in summer, with the temperature in July ranging from 21 to 26℃. The frost-free period in Shanxi is long in the south and short in the north, with long plains and short mountains.
