China Weather


China is vast in territory and the climate varies greatly from north to south. With high temperatures and rainy seasons, there is no winter in Leizhou Peninsula in southern China, Hainan Province, Taiwan Province and southern Yunnan. There are four distinct seasons in Middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze and Yellow River region. Northern areas such as Heilongjiang have a cold and snowy winter. The temperature changes significantly in vast north-west. It is cold in winter and hot in summer with very little precipitation, dry climate.

Although the weather different from geographical conditions and seasons, there are two main features for China climate.

1. Rainfall distribution is very uneven. Annual precipitation decreases from southeast to northwest over the difference of 40:1.

2. The wind in summer and winter changes obviously. The cold air comes from the high-latitude continental areas, mostly northerly wind, cold and dry. Summer winds are mainly from the sea, mostly southerly winds, warm and humid.
