Will it snow in winter in Hangzhou?

It usually snows in winter in Hangzhou, but when it snows depends on the weather.

Because Hangzhou is located in the north of Zhejiang, the climate is in the subtropical monsoon zone, with four distinct seasons and abundant rainfall, the winter temperature is generally 4- 12 degrees, and the weather is relatively cold. If cold air meets saturated water vapor, it will naturally snow. The date of snow in Hangzhou is relatively short, generally from 65438+February to 65438+ 10. Broken bridges and broken snow are famous scenic spots in Hangzhou.

The reason for the snow:

1. Because the temperature is low in winter, the ground temperature is below zero, and the temperature of the upper clouds is even lower.

2. The water vapor in the cloud directly condenses into small ice crystals and small snowflakes. When these snowflakes increase to a certain extent, the airflow can't hold, and it falls from the clouds to the ground, which means it snows.

3. If there is a strong updraft and the air temperature is relatively high, just like holding a snowflake in a big hand, the snowflake will grow up in the cloud for a long time and the falling snowflake will be larger.
