Why is it raining so cold in Xinjiang?

When it rains in Xinjiang, the temperature is low, which is mainly caused by climate and geographical environment.

1. Climatic reason: Xinjiang is located in the northwest of China and belongs to temperate continental climate. In winter, it is far away from the ocean and receives less warm and humid airflow from the ocean, so the climate is very dry. In summer, the intensity of warm air is gradually strengthened. When the cold air is disturbed, the continuous sawing of cold and warm air will produce cooling and precipitation weather. Therefore, the recent cooling and precipitation weather in Xinjiang is not uncommon.

2. Geographical and environmental factors: Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of Eurasia, far from the ocean, where water vapor is difficult to reach and precipitation is scarce. In addition, Tianshan Mountain and Altai Mountain surround Xinjiang, and the mountains are huge, which can block the cold air in the south and the warm and humid air in the north.

Based on the above analysis, the low temperature in Xinjiang when it rains is mainly the result of the joint action of climate and geographical environment factors.
