The climate of Shanxi province

Shanxi lies inland on the east coast of the mainland. The outer edge is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, it is difficult to be influenced by the sea breeze and form a relatively strong continental climate. At the same time, due to the attack of cold air mass in Inner Mongolia in winter, the north is relatively cold, forming the climate characteristics of Shanxi; Winter is long, cold and dry; Summer is short, hot and rainy; In spring, the daily temperature difference is large and there are many sandstorms; Autumn is short and the climate is mild. Shanxi province belongs to temperate and warm temperate monsoon climate zone, that is, temperate continental climate. The average precipitation is 400-650 mm, and Shanxi is located in the mid-latitude region with a warm temperate and temperate continental climate. Leng Xia is warm in winter, with four distinct seasons, with great difference between north and south and great vertical difference. Shanxi's topography is diverse, and the height difference is wide, which has both zonal latitude climate and obvious vertical variation. Shanxi is located in the middle latitude, not far from the sea, but due to the barrier of mountains, the summer monsoon has little influence, belonging to the temperate continental monsoon climate. The annual average temperature is 3 ~ 14℃, with large temperature difference between day and night and north and south. The average temperature in the western Yellow River Basin, Taiyuan Basin and most parts of southeastern Shanxi is between 8 ~ 10℃. The average annual temperature in Linfen and Yuncheng basins is 65438 02 ~ 65438 04℃. The temperature in the whole province is below 0℃ in winter and generally higher in summer, and the temperature in July is between 2 1 ~ 26℃. The frost-free period in Shanxi is long in the south and short in the north, and the Pingchuan mountain area is short. Datong basin is 1 10 ~ 140 days, Wutai mountain is only 85 days, northern and eastern mountainous areas of Xinzhou basin are 135 ~ 155 days, Linfen and Yuncheng basins are 200 ~ 220 days. The annual precipitation in the province is 400 ~ 650 mm, but the seasonal distribution is uneven. The precipitation from June to August in summer is highly concentrated and rainy, accounting for more than 60% of the whole year. The precipitation in the whole province is greatly influenced by topography, with many mountains and few basins. There are three rainy areas in Shanxi, one is Taihang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain in the southeast of Shanxi, the other is Wutai Mountain, and the third is Luliang Mountain.

Taiyuan has a temperate monsoon climate, with no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer, large temperature difference between day and night, long frost-free period and abundant sunshine. The annual average rainfall is 456 mm and the annual average temperature is 9.5℃. January is the coldest, with an average temperature of -6.8℃. It is the hottest in July, with an average temperature of 23.5℃. The annual sunshine hours are 2808 hours. Taiyuan is located in the mainland, far from the eastern coastline, and its northwest is the vast hinterland of Eurasia. In the national climate division, it belongs to the continental monsoon climate type of warm temperate zone. The formation of climate is mainly influenced by three factors: solar radiation, atmospheric circulation and geographical environment. Taiyuan is located in the middle latitude of the northern hemisphere and the geographical environment of Shanxi Plateau, which enables it to receive strong solar radiation and is rich in light energy and heat, so it belongs to the category of high irradiance in agricultural light energy utilization zoning. At the same time, influenced by the westerly circulation and high solar radiation, the climate is dry, with less rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night, showing strong continental climate characteristics. Winter is controlled by Siberian cold air, and summer is influenced by southeast ocean moisture mass. As the season goes on, the two air masses alternately advance and retreat over Taiyuan, changing one from the other and alternating periodically, forming the characteristics of long dry and cold winter, hot and humid summer, sharp rise in spring temperature, sharp drop in autumn temperature, short and windy spring and autumn, and clear wet and dry. Taiyuan's complex and diverse landforms have formed obviously different climatic regions, which not only show obvious vertical changes, but also have certain horizontal differences.

Taiyuan in September is a typical autumn, so you can prepare autumn clothes. Taiyuan is four to five degrees lower than the eastern part of the same latitude in winter, which is very cold and dry. It is recommended to wear thick winter clothes.

In addition, the people on the first floor said: Taiyuan has a temperate continental maritime climate, and continental and maritime nature are inherently antagonistic. How can such a climate exist?
