What's the climate like in Yunnan?

Although Yunnan is located at a lower latitude, the climate here is very different from other places at the same latitude because it is located on the plateau. The terrain in Yunnan is also very complicated, and the atmosphere here is also changing, so the climate here is very good.

The main reasons for the good weather in Yunnan:

First of all, geographically, Kunming is controlled by the warm and humid airflow in the southwest of the Indian Ocean in summer, so it looks humid and warm. Secondly, Kunming is located at the second step of the three steps in China. In summer, due to the gradual elevation of the terrain, the influence of the southeast Pacific airflow is not obvious, and in winter, due to the blocking of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the influence of the Siberian cold current on it is also weakened.

In addition, being located in the plateau also reduces the high temperature brought by the southwest wind in summer; Moreover, the temperature and humidity around Kunming are relatively stable due to the temperature difference adjustment of Dianchi Lake and the good vegetation in Yunnan.

Yunnan Province is located in the southwest border of China, with latitude 218 ′ 32 ″ ~ 2915 ′ 8 ″ north and longitude 9731′ 39 ″ ~10665438 ′ east. Yunnan borders Guizhou Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the east, Sichuan Province and Xizang Autonomous Region in the north and northwest, Myanmar in the west and Laos and Viet Nam in the south. On the whole, the vast Asian continent in the north, the vast Bay of Bengal (less than 700 kilometers) and the South China Sea (less than 400 kilometers) are just at the intersection of the East Asian monsoon and the South Asian monsoon, and the northwest is affected by the large terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, forming complex and diverse climatic conditions.

Yunnan is rich in biological resources because of its special topography and complex climate type. It is one of the richest and most concentrated areas of biodiversity in China and even the world, and it is a rare green treasure house on the earth. It has an ancient culture, exotic ethnic customs and the most suitable climate for tourism, and is the best tourist attraction in China and even in the world.
