Why is the climate in Beijing so dry?

1. Beijing has a temperate monsoon climate, which is the reason for the dry local climate in Beijing. It is characterized by high temperature and rainy summer, cold and dry winter and short spring and autumn.

2. Climate principle. Under the control of this climate, the polar continental air mass prevails in winter under the influence of the northerly winds in the inland areas at high latitudes, and it is cold and dry. In winter, the temperature is below 0 degrees, the cold is long, and the winter lasts for five months. If the average temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, there is drought in February and March, and even winter precipitation accounts for 2% of the annual precipitation, and there is often no precipitation for more than one month.
