What's the weather like in Xinjiang

Every March and April, the dusty weather is particularly serious. It is very hot in July and August in summer, and it hardly rains in summer. It doesn't rain for two or three months in a row. Even if it does rain, it will stop next time, and it will clear up after a while, so it is particularly dry. Because this area is located in the difficult slope of Tianshan Mountain, it is not as cold as northern Xinjiang in winter. Northern Xinjiang is close to western Siberia, so it is very cold and often snows. In southern Xinjiang, there will be no heavy snow. The most precipitation in Xinjiang is in Yili area. As long as you stay here for a long time, you will get used to the weather here

In addition, it lives in the deep inland, far from the ocean, and is surrounded by high mountains (Tianshan, Kunlun and Pamirs), so it is influenced by ocean airflow and has a strong continental nature. It is difficult to reach the cold and humid airflow from the west and the hot and humid airflow from the Indian Ocean. The southeast monsoon prevailing in eastern China is also difficult to drift because of its long distance. This area is located at low latitude, and the cold wave is blocked by Tianshan Mountain, so the temperature is high and it belongs to the extremely arid desert climate in warm temperate zone. Its main characteristics are: hot summer and cold winter, distinct seasons, abundant heat, large temperature difference between day and night and annual variation, long frost-free period, scarce precipitation, strong evaporation, dry air and obvious vertical distribution of climatic zones. In Kunlun area, the annual average temperature drops by 0.5 ~ 0.7 degrees Celsius for every 100 meter temperature increase.

Due to the large scope and area of the whole region, there are great differences in biology and climate under different landform conditions, which can be roughly divided into three climate types: southern region, oasis plain region and northern desert region.
