How many provinces does the southern region include?

The south refers to cities such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, etc.

The south is the area south of the Qinling Mountains, the Huaihe River, and east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It often refers to the area south of a specific or implied orientation point. In my country, the "southern region" generally refers to the vast area south of the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River line.

There are varying degrees of differences with natural divisions. Ankang and Shangluo in Shaanxi, Nanyang and Xinyang in Hanzhong and Henan, and Longnan in Gansu belong to the southern region of natural divisions; the northern parts of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, Tibet, and Western Sichuan and the northwest tip of Yunnan are not included in the southern region of natural divisions.

Extended information:

The southern region is dominated by tropical and subtropical monsoon climate, with high temperatures and rainy summers and mild and dry winters. Among them, the tropical monsoon climate has high temperatures throughout the year and is divided into two seasons: dry and rainy. The precipitation is more than 800 mm, with more precipitation on the windward slopes of mountains. Taiwan's Huoshaoliao is the "rainiest place" in the country, with an average annual rainfall of 6,558 mm. The eastern coastal areas are greatly affected by typhoons in summer and autumn.

The southern region is greatly affected by the summer monsoon and has a long rainy season. The summer monsoon makes landfall from the coast of South China in May every year, and the rainy season begins. In June and July, the summer monsoon strengthens and moves northward, forming a Jianghuai quasi-stationary front with continuous rain, mainly affecting the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River Basin. Drought is likely to occur in July and August. In September, the rainfall front moves southward to this area. After October, the cold air force further strengthens, the summer monsoon moves out of this area, and the rainy season ends.

In addition, the southwest region is often affected by the southwest monsoon, and the cold air and southwest airflow in the northern region are blocked by terrain, resulting in continuous rainy weather. Generally in the winter half of the year, the location is between Kunming and Guiyang.
