What kind of climate does Guangzhou belong to

Guangzhou is located in the south subtropical zone and has a typical monsoon maritime climate. Because the back of the mountain faces the sea, the maritime climate is particularly remarkable, with warm and rainy, sufficient light and heat, small temperature difference, long summer and short frost period. Because of the same period of water and heat, it is very beneficial to the growth of crops, but the threat of natural disasters is also great. It often brings adverse effects to industrial and agricultural production.

Guangzhou is rich in light and heat resources, with annual average sunshine hours1875.1~1959.9 hours, annual total solar radiation 105.3 ~ 109.8 kcal/cm 2, and annual average temperature. The frost-free period is 290 days in the north and 346 days in the south.

Guangzhou has abundant rainfall, with annual precipitation 1689.3 ~ 1876.5mm, and rainy season (April-September) accounts for about 85% of the whole year. Due to the influence of topography, there are more mountains than plains, and more in the north than in the south. At the same time, the rainy season coincides with strong light and high heat, forming a fairly high climatic biological potential (light and warm water potential), reaching 77865 ~ 97950 kg/ha.

The alternation of winter and summer monsoon is a remarkable feature of Guangzhou monsoon climate. As the polar continental air mass extends southward, the north wind in winter is dry and cold. Due to the northward expansion of tropical ocean air mass, the southerly wind in summer is warm and humid. Generally, the summer monsoon turns into the winter monsoon in September, and the winter monsoon turns into the summer monsoon in April.
