Is it true that snow flies in Sunan, Gansu Province in July?

Shocked! It snowed heavily in Gansu this month, and now it is rainy. The temperature in many areas is as high as 39-40℃. Why is the weather here so abnormal? This phenomenon has also caused many discussions among netizens. I was hit by a hot search for a while. What's going on here?

This summer is particularly hot, and many experts speculate that July this year must be the hottest month according to the weather. For example, the highest temperature in Fuzhou, Fujian can reach 40℃, and Taizhou, Zhejiang once reached 42℃. In this weather, the weather in Gansu is abnormal, and it snowed heavily for several days. It snowed so hard that even the tents of herders in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County collapsed. The photographer who released the snowfall in Gansu also said that its snow thickness has reached ten centimeters deep.

This is not the first time. In fact, this happened in July in some areas, when it was just summer. This phenomenon actually has a lot to do with the climate and environment. The temperature is too high during the day and suddenly drops at night. If there is warm and humid air around, it is likely to cause the temperature to change from rain to snowfall. The reason why this summer is hotter than in previous years is not only the interference of global warming, but also the influence of subtropical high. Therefore, snowfall in Gansu and other areas is relatively normal.

And some people are thinking, is the snowfall this season also related to altitude? It is also possible. The snowfall area in Gansu Province is about 3 kilometers above sea level, where the temperature will be relatively low and the air will be thinner, which is due to the change of temperature difference. However, the intense summer heat and sudden heavy snow also make people feel the vast land and diverse climate changes in China. What really deserves people's study and worry is that it will be as hot as ever. I hope the extreme high temperature will be less in the future.
