Please, it’s the climate of northwest Shanxi and not northwest Pu’er~ Northwest region

The northwest region has a total area of ??more than 3 million square kilometers, rich in resources, complex climate, and is generally characterized by relatively dry conditions. Most places have a continental climate, with large annual and daily temperature differences. To facilitate research, we will now discuss the following items:

Temperature distribution:

The temperature distribution in the northwest region is significantly affected by terrain, and is less affected by latitude than in the eastern region. The temperature distribution in January in winter, Fuyun and Qinghe in northeastern Xinjiang can be as cold as -50 degrees, and are generally below -28 degrees; Qinghai has a cold climate due to its high altitude. Maduo on the southern plateau, which is more than 4,200 meters above sea level, has the coldest temperature of -48.1 degrees. , one of the coldest regions in the country. The coldest weather in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, reaches -30 degrees. The climate in southeastern Shaanxi is relatively warm and can be above 0 degrees. In summer, the climate in the northwest region (except Qinghai) is dry and hot. The basins in central Shaanxi, such as Xi'an, often experience high temperatures above 40 degrees, with the hottest temperature reaching 44 degrees. Deserts in northwest Gansu such as Dunhuang also experienced high temperatures of 43.6 degrees. Turpan is China's famous "Fire Continent", with the hottest temperature reaching 48 degrees Celsius. The climate in the northwest is relatively arid, with precipitation in most areas less than 600 mm. Only the windward slopes in the mountainous areas of southern Shaanxi, southern Gansu, southern Qinghai and eastern Xinjiang are between 600-1000 mm. The vast areas to the west and north of Wushaoling in Gansu In areas with precipitation of less than 200 mm, especially the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai, the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, and the Dunhuang Basin in Gansu, the precipitation is less than 50 mm. Lenghu in Qinghai, Lop Nur in Xinjiang, and Ruoqiang in southern Xinjiang The precipitation in the Naomao Lake, Turpan, and Hami basins in the Qiemo, Yiwu, and Yiwu basins is only more than 10 millimeters, making them the driest places in the country. Such a drought is rare in the world!

Sunshine and cloud cover:

Most areas in the northwest have extremely abundant sunshine, strong solar radiation and extremely rich solar energy resources. Except for the humid areas in the southeast, most places have 2,600-3,500 hours of sunshine, with a sunshine percentage of 60-80%. Fugu in northern Shaanxi also reaches more than 2,900 hours, Dunhuang in Gansu reaches more than 3,200 hours, Lenghu in Qinghai, and Xinjiang The Xingxing Gorge has more than 3,500 hours and a sunshine percentage of more than 80%. It is the place with the most sunshine in Asia and ranks third in the world (after the Sahara Desert and the Andes of South America). The cloud cover is less than 60% in most areas of the northwest, the cloud cover in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu is less than 45%, and the cloud cover in the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai is less than 50%. It is one of the places with the most sunny days in the country.

The reason for the high altitude in Qinghai is that it is above 3,000 meters above sea level, has high atmospheric transparency, and extremely strong solar radiation (second only to Tibet). The annual average solar radiation of Wudaoliang Weather Station in the southwest reaches 176.1 kcal/cm2, which is higher than that in the eastern region. 70
