What are the climatic characteristics of the great cold solar terms?

Great cold is the last of the 24 solar terms in the whole year. Every year around 65438+1October 20th in Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 300, it is a severe cold.

At this time, the cold wave moves southward frequently, which is the coldest period in some parts of China in a year. The wind is strong, the temperature is low, and the snow on the ground does not melt, showing a cold scene of ice and snow. When the west of 80 degrees east longitude is a long wave ridge and East Asia is a coastal trough, under the influence of northwest wind and constantly supplemented cold air, China will have a sustained low temperature. Like slight cold, great cold is also a solar term indicating the degree of cold weather. Modern meteorological observation records show that in some areas of China, severe cold is not as good as slight cold, but in some years and a few coastal areas, the annual minimum temperature will still appear in the severe cold solar terms.

During this period, railway, post and telecommunications, petroleum, transmission lines, water transport and other departments should pay special attention to taking measures to prevent severe weather such as strong winds and blizzards as soon as possible. Agriculture should strengthen the cold and antifreeze of livestock and wintering crops.

During the severe cold solar term, the atmospheric circulation is relatively stable, and the adjustment period of circulation is about 20 days. When this circulation is adjusted, there will often be a wide range of rain and snow weather and strong winds to cool down. In the severe cold season, the average temperature in most parts of southern China is 6℃ to 8℃, which is nearly 65438 0℃ higher than slight cold. The proverb "slight cold and cold, cold into a ball" shows that the great cold solar terms are also the cold period of the year.

Slight cold and severe cold are the periods with the least rainfall in a year. During the cold solar term all the year round, the rainfall in most parts of the south only increased slightly compared with the previous period, with 5 ~10mm in most parts of the south and only1~ 5mm in the mountainous areas of the northwest plateau.

Summary: "The great cold is not cold, and the vernal equinox is not warm." I seem to have felt the coming of the great cold.
