Where is the coldest place in China?

China is located in genhe city, Inner Mongolia.

The annual average temperature in genhe city, Inner Mongolia is -5.3℃, the lowest temperature in history is -58℃, and the heating period is as long as 9 months, so it is called "China Cold Pole". ?

Genhe city's climate belongs to the humid forest climate of cold temperate zone, which has some characteristics of continental monsoon climate. It is characterized by cold and humidity, long winter and short summer, and spring and autumn are connected, with an average frost-free period of 90 days. The annual temperature is 47.4℃, the daily range is 20℃, and the freezing period is more than 2 10 days. Frozen soil is spread all over the country, and frozen soil in some areas is below 30 cm.

Genhe city is not the northernmost county in China, but its altitude is higher than Mohe, so its temperature is lower than Mohe, the "Arctic of China".

Extended data

The record of extreme low temperature is hard to break.

The record of extreme minimum temperature in all parts of China appeared earlier, and it is difficult to be broken later, while the record of extreme maximum temperature has been constantly refreshed in recent years, from which we can also see the trend of global warming. However, if we seriously discuss the conditions of the lowest temperature, we cannot simply think that the cold air activity is not as strong as in the past, and another key factor is the radiation cooling effect.

In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization in China, the population of many small and medium-sized cities is increasing, the urban area is gradually expanding, and the original meteorological observation stations are surrounded by buildings.

But a few decades ago, the heat island effect around meteorological observation stations was weak, and the radiation cooling capacity was generally strong. It is likely that the low temperature can be exposed without too much cold air, which is hard to imagine with today's eyes. In other words, the extremely low temperature that appeared decades ago does not necessarily mean that the cold air at that time was as strong as we thought.
