Climatic characteristics of winter solstice

From winter to around, although the northern hemisphere has the shortest sunshine time and receives the least amount of solar radiation, the accumulated heat on the ground in summer can also provide some supplement, so the temperature is not the lowest at this time. "After eating the winter solstice dinner, the days get longer." After the winter solstice, the days get longer and longer. However, the solar radiation obtained on the ground is still less than the heat lost by the ground radiation, so the temperature will continue to drop in the short term. In China, except for a few islands and coastal areas, 1 is the coldest month, so there is a folk saying that winter solstice is not too cold, and astronomy also stipulates that winter solstice is the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere.

Astronomy regards the winter solstice as the beginning of winter, which is obviously late for most parts of China. The solstice in winter is the shortest day in a year. From winter to the future, the direct point of the sun gradually moves northward, and the days in the northern hemisphere gradually become longer and the nights gradually become shorter.

Climatic characteristics of solar terms from winter to sun: the climate from winter to sun will only get colder and colder.

Winter solstice

The temperature is low and the climate is cold.

Climatically, during the winter solstice, the average temperature in the northwest plateau is generally below 0℃, and the southern region is only about 6℃ to 8℃.

As for "Counting Nine", there is a folk song that goes like this: "Don't do it in September, walk on the ice in March and April, watch the willows along the river in May and June, open the river in July and September, geese come in August and September, and cows go everywhere in September and September." However, in the southwest low-altitude valley area, even in the coldest local165438+ in early October, the average temperature is still above 10℃. It can be said that autumn goes and spring comes, and there is no winter all year round.
