China Climate

| China Climate |
 |
China has a marked
continental monsoon climate characterized by great variety.
Most parts of China are in the northern temperate zone
while parts of the southern area are in the tropical
or subtropical zone and parts of the northern area in
the Frigid Zone.
Most of China lies in the north temperature zone, characterized by a warm
climate and clear division between seasons, a climate well suited for habitation.
In winter, northerly winds from high latitude areas keep the northern parts cold
and dry; while in summer, monsoons from eastern and southern coastal areas bring
warmness and moisture.
The climate also varies with the extensive territory and various topography
from region to region. |
In northern China, summer is
warm and short, while winter is cold and long. In southern
China, summer is long, humid and hot, and the winter
short and warm, with temperature rarely below freezing.
In central China (the valley area along the Yangtze River),
division between seasons is clear -- summer is long,
hot and humid while winter, short and cold.
In northwestern China, such as Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia,
summer is dry and sweltering and winter is formidably cold.
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (about 4,000 meters above
sea level) in southwestern China, winter is extremely cold
and summer is short and moderately warm, with little precipitation
and great difference in temperature between day and night.
LIMATE ZONE
China sees various other types of climate due to
its vast territory. Temperature belts from south to north
appear in this order: tropical zone, subtropical
zone, temperate zone, medium temperate zone and frigid temperate
zone. There is also a vertical climatic zone on the Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau in southwestern China. |
Situated in the eastern part
of the Asian continent and facing the Pacific, China
also has a prominent monsoon climate. In addition, other
types of climate, such as alpine climate, plateau climate,
desert climate, forest climate and basin climate, coexist
in China, due to complicated topography and a great disparity
in elevation.
MOMSOON CLIMATE
Most of China has a continental monsoon climate. From September
to April of the following year, the dry and cold winter monsoon blow from Siberia
and the Mongolian Plateau, resulting in cold and dry winters and great differences
in the temperatures of northern and southern China. From April to September,
warm and humid summer monsoons blow from the seas in the east and south, resulting
in overall high temperatures and plentiful rainfall, and little difference in
the temperatures of northern and southern China. |
 |
In addition, cold wave, cyclone,
intermittent drizzles and typhoon are also the results
of monsoon climate. Caused by monsoon, the rainy season
runs from May through to August and typhoons frequently
occur in the southeast coast between July and September.
PRECIPITATION
China has an average annual precipitation of 629
millimeters, which is unevenly distributed both regionally
and seasonally. Precipitation gradually declines from
the southeastern area to the northwestern inland area.
Influenced by the oceanic warm and humid air current,
most southeastern coastal areas in China have rich rainfall,
which reaches over 1,500 millimeters, while in northwestern
areas annual precipitation drops to below 200 millimeters. |
 |
China's average temperature gradually
declines from the eastern area to the northern area.
The Mohe area of HeilongjiangProvince at the northernmost
tip of China, located north of Northern Latitude 53ºC,
has a frigid temperate averaging -5ºC. Zengmu Ansha in
HainanProvince at the southern end, only 400 kilometers
from the equator, is dominated by the equatorial climate
with an average temperature of 25ºC. Most parts of the
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have a temperature below 0ºC. Thus,
there is great temperature difference between the south
and the north.
In summer, the temperature is high nationwide, and temperature difference is
small between the north and the south. In winter, most areas in China are cold
and the temperature varies greatly between northern and southern parts, with
the biggest difference up to 50ºC. In Mohe, the lowest temperature in a year
can reach 52.3ºC, while that in Sanya, Hainan, is above 20ºC. |
