What are the main features of the climate in China? (China)

1, the climate is complex and diverse.

China has a vast territory, a wide latitude, a long distance from the sea, and different terrain types and mountains, so there are various combinations of temperature and precipitation, forming a variety of climates.

In terms of climate types, the east belongs to monsoon climate (which can be divided into subtropical monsoon climate, temperate monsoon climate and tropical monsoon climate), the northwest belongs to temperate continental climate, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau belongs to alpine climate. According to the temperature zone, there are tropical zone, subtropical zone, warm temperate zone, middle temperate zone, cold temperate zone and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Divided from dry and wet areas, there are humid areas, semi-humid areas, semi-arid areas and arid areas. In addition, the same temperature zone can contain different dry zones and wet zones; There are different temperature zones in the same dry and wet area. Therefore, under the same climate type, there will also be differences in heat and humidity. The complexity and diversity of terrain also make the climate more complex and diverse.

2. Monsoon climate is remarkable.

China's climate is characterized by high temperature and rainy summer, cold and little rain in winter, and the high temperature period is consistent with the rainy period.

Because China is located in the east of Eurasia, the largest continent in the world, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and near the Indian Ocean in the southwest, the climate is greatly influenced by the mainland and the ocean. In winter, the north wind blows from the mainland to the ocean, and in summer, the south wind blows from the ocean to the land.

Winter winds are produced in the interior of Asia, which is cold and dry. Under its influence, there is little precipitation and low temperature in most parts of China in winter, especially in the north. The summer monsoon comes from the Pacific Ocean in the southeast and the Indian Ocean in the southwest, and it is warm and humid. Under its influence, precipitation generally increases, and rain and heat are in the same season.

China is widely influenced by the alternation of winter and summer monsoon, which is the most remarkable and typical region in the world. Compared with other parts of the world at the same latitude, the temperature in China is low in winter and high in summer, with a large annual variation, and precipitation is concentrated in summer, which is the characteristic of continental climate. Therefore, the monsoon climate in China is continental, which is also called continental monsoon climate. ?

Extended data:

The north-south direction of China spans a large latitude, and there is a certain difference in temperature between the north and the south. In winter, the temperature difference between north and south in China is large, and the 0℃ isotherm is roughly distributed along the Qinling-Huaihe line. In June+10/October, 5438, the average temperature difference between Mohe Town and Haikou City was close to 50℃. In summer, except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and other areas, the average temperature in July is mostly above 20℃.

The lowest temperature in winter in China is in Mohe Town, Heilongjiang Province. 65438+ 10 The monthly average temperature is -30.6℃, and the extreme minimum temperature is -52.3℃. The highest temperature is near Xisha Islands, with an average temperature of 22.9℃ in 65438+ 10. The highest temperature in summer in China is Turpan, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, with an average temperature of 33℃ in July and an extreme maximum temperature of 49.6℃.

The precipitation in China varies greatly, and the general trend is decreasing from the southeast coast to the northwest inland. The annual precipitation in the southeast coast is mostly above 1600 mm, the annual precipitation in the northwest is below 50 mm, and the 800 mm isoprecipitation line basically follows the Qinling Mountains. According to the annual precipitation, China can be divided into humid area, semi-humid area, semi-arid area and arid area.

The lowest record of annual precipitation occurred in Toksun, Turpan Basin, with an average annual precipitation of 5.9 mm, and the annual precipitation days were less than 10 days, and 1968 was only 0.5 mm..
