What are the differences in climate between China and Sydney?

Sydney has a subtropical humid climate and it rains all year round. The weather in Sydney is regulated by the adjacent ocean, so the inland western city is slightly more continental. The warmest month is January, and the temperature in coastal areas is 18.6 C–25.8 C, with an average of 14.6 days above 3°C in the middle of the year. The highest temperature recorded was 45.3°C, which was recorded on January 14th, 1939 after the nationwide heat wave on April 4th. It is slightly cool in summer, and the temperature in coastal areas rarely drops below 5 C. The coldest month is July, and the average extreme value is 8. C–16.2 C. The lowest recorded value is 2.1 C. The rainfall in summer and winter is quite even. Due to the adjustment of the east wind, the rainfall in the first half of the year is slightly higher. The average annual rainfall is 1217. mm, which is moderate and has little change, with an average of 138. days of rainfall in the middle of the year. There was a snowfall in Sydney in 183.

Although Sydney will not encounter cyclones or major earthquakes, the El Ni? o phenomenon or El Ni? o Southern Oscillation is affecting the weather conditions in Sydney: on the one hand, there are droughts and forest fires, on the other hand, there are storms and floods, which are combined with the oscillation. There have been forest fires in many areas adjacent to forests in Sydney, especially in 1994 and 22-forest fires tend to occur in spring and summer. Sydney is vulnerable to rare hailstorms and storms.

China is very big and its climate is very complicated. Here, Beijing, Shanghai and Haikou are selected as the comparison:

Beijing's climate: The main feature of Beijing's climate is distinct four seasons. It is dry in spring, hot and rainy in summer, crisp in autumn and cold and dry in winter; The wind direction has obvious seasonal variation, with northwest wind prevailing in winter and southeast wind prevailing in summer. The climate characteristics of the four seasons are as follows:

In spring, the temperature rises rapidly, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is dry and windy. In spring, with the gradual increase of the solar altitude angle, the daylight time is prolonged, and the heat gained on the ground exceeds the expenditure, so the temperature rises rapidly. The monthly average temperature can increase by 9-6℃, the average temperature in March is 4.5℃, and it is 13.1℃ in April. During the day, the temperature is high, while at night, the radiation cooling is strong and the temperature is low, which is the season with the largest temperature difference between day and night. Generally, the daily temperature range is 12-14℃, and the maximum daily temperature range is 16.8℃. In addition, the cold air activity is still very frequent in spring, and due to the sharp cooling, there is "late spring cold" weather, which is easy to form late frost. There are many windy days, and the number of windy days above grade 8 accounts for 4% of the total number of days in the whole year. When strong winds appear, they are often accompanied by floating dust, sand blowing and sandstorm weather. The scarcity of precipitation in spring aggravates the spring drought, which is known as the "ten years and nine spring droughts".

summer: the summer is hot and the precipitation is concentrated, resulting in the same season of rain and heat. In summer, the average monthly temperature in plain areas is above 24℃ except in mountainous areas. Although the hottest month is not June, the extreme highest temperature mostly occurs in June. Entering midsummer in July is the hottest month of the year, with an average temperature close to 26℃, high temperature lasting and stable, and small temperature difference between day and night. Summer precipitation accounts for 7% of the annual precipitation, and mostly occurs in the form of heavy rain. Therefore, mountain torrents are prone to occur, and plains cause floods. Rainstorm is one of the main natural disasters in Beijing in summer. In addition, the thermal convection in mountainous areas is strong, forming local thunderstorms accompanied by hail, causing certain losses to agriculture.

autumn: the weather is crisp, the temperature is suitable, and the sunshine is sufficient. After autumn, the cold air in the north began to invade and the temperature dropped rapidly. Therefore, the early arrival of the first frost occurs from time to time.

winter: the cold is long. Winter lasts for five months, and if the average temperature is below ℃, it will last for three months (December-February). In January in the dead of winter, the average temperature in the plain is below -4℃, in the mountainous area it is below -8℃, and the extreme minimum temperature in the plain is -27.4℃. Winter precipitation accounts for 2% of the annual precipitation, and there is often no record of precipitation (snow) for more than one month. Although it is cold and dry in winter, there is a lot of sunshine, with an average sunshine of more than 6 hours per day, which creates favorable conditions for the development and utilization of solar energy.

climate of Shanghai: Shanghai is located in the east of the Yangtze River Delta where rivers and seas meet, and in the north subtropical region where the East Asian monsoon prevails, and belongs to the north subtropical monsoon climate. Affected by the advance and retreat of the winter and summer monsoon, Shanghai is characterized by a cold and dry winter northwest wind from November to February, and a warm and humid summer southeast wind from April to August. However, under the direct control of the subtropical high in the northwest Pacific Ocean in July and August, sometimes southwest wind is hot and dry. March and the early period from September to October are the transitional seasons of monsoon transition, generally dominated by northeast wind and east wind, with more low temperature and rainy weather.

The main climatic characteristics of Shanghai are: Leng Xia is hot in winter, with four distinct seasons, but there are often cold currents in winter; In the same season of rain and heat, there is abundant precipitation, but the variability is large; Light and temperature are coordinated, and there is more sunshine, but it varies from year to year. According to the statistics of meteorological data in Shanghai (1873 ~ 1994); The annual average temperature is 15.5℃, with January being the coldest, with an average temperature of 3.4℃. It is the hottest in July, with an average temperature of 27.5℃. The frost ends on April 1st and begins on November 16th all the year round, with an average frost-free period of 228 days, and the active accumulated temperature above 1℃ is 4934℃/day, which is second only to Sichuan Basin and the area south of Hangzhou, Anqing, Wuhan and Yichang. The average annual precipitation is 1149.8 mm, and the number of precipitation days is 131 days. The average monthly rainfall from April to September is above 1mm, and the total rainfall in these six months accounts for about 7% of the total annual rainfall. June and September are two obviously rainy months, with monthly rainfall of more than 15 mm, which are caused by plum rain and autumn rain (including tropical cyclones) respectively. The sunshine in each month is more than 15 hours, and there are many sunshine in July and August, reaching 251 and 26 hours respectively. In October, the climate is cool, sunny and rainy, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

To sum up, the climate in Shanghai has three characteristics.

1. It is hot in Leng Xia in winter, with four distinct seasons, but cold current often occurs

2. It is rainy and hot in the same season, with abundant precipitation, but with a large variability

3. It is in harmony with light and heat, with more sunshine, but it is changeable from year to year

Haikou's climate is located at 19 57 ′ 4 ″-2 5 north latitude. It borders Qiongzhou Strait in the north, facing the mainland across 18 nautical miles, bordering Qiongshan City in the southeast and Chengmai County in the west. Haikou City is located in the northern edge of the tropical zone with low latitude, and belongs to a monsoon hot climate zone. The annual average temperature in Haikou is 23.8, the highest average temperature is 28. and the lowest average temperature is 18.8. The annual frost-free period is 346 days, and there is no ice and snow all year round. The annual average sunshine hours are 2225.2 hours.

Australian humanities: local customs and folk customs: Australians have both the hearty westerners and the reserved orientals. They have a wide range of interests, like sports, such as surfing, windsurfing, horse racing, fishing, bocce, Australian football and swimming.

The aborigines living in Australia (also known as aborigines) still protect their customs. They hunt for a living, and the boomerang is their unique hunting weapon. Many of them still live in shacks made of branches and mud, surrounded by a piece of cloth or covered with kangaroo skin, and like tattoos or painting various colors on their bodies. Usually, only some yellow and white colors are painted on cheeks, shoulders and chest, and the whole body is painted during festivals or festivals. Tattoos are mostly thick lines, some are like raindrops, and some are like ripples. For the indigenous people who have passed the bar mitzvah, tattoos are not only decorative, but also used to attract the love of the opposite sex. At the carnival dance, people wear colorful decorations, paint colorful patterns and dance in groups around the bonfire. Dancing is simple, reflecting hunting life, etc.

With the changes of the times, some indigenous people have gradually left their tribes and moved to cities. Australia has various preferential policies for indigenous people, including providing them with all kinds of necessary assistance in housing, employment and welfare. In the tourist area, the artworks and handicrafts of indigenous people are one of the items that tourists from all over the world collect and buy, which are the source of income for indigenous people.

Australia has a particularly strong atmosphere of freedom and freedom. People call each other by their first names (only by their first names, not by their surnames), between bosses and employees, and between teachers and students. In the centers of Sydney and Melbourne, white-collar workers in smart suits or working girl can often be seen gathering with friends and colleagues at noon on weekdays, sitting on the steps in front of buildings and having a simple lunch, such as sandwiches or hot dogs. White-collar workers are also modern metropolises, and the same scene is unimaginable in places like Tokyo or Hong Kong.

Australians are polite and helpful. If you walk in a sparsely populated street, people will greet and greet each other even if they don't know each other. If you walk in the street with a bag of fruit in your hand, the bag is broken and the fruit rolls on the ground. People around you will help you pick it up immediately and return it to your hand. Someone will also find you a good bag or box or something that can be used as an emergency substitute. This is Australia.

The characteristics of life in Australia When working in Australia, the salary is usually paid once a week (civil servants or large institutions are paid once every two weeks), and the salary is usually paid every Thursday or Friday. Therefore, restaurants, bars and department stores in Australia are particularly good days for business every Friday and Saturday. In recent years, some large department stores and shopping centers have extended their business hours every Thursday night to cater to people who get paid every Thursday. Some people who don't pay attention to spending money will be rich on weekends and poor at the beginning of the week. It doesn't matter, because in a few days, it will be a happy weekend again.

Cultural Australia is an immigrant country, and multiculturalism is an inevitable feature of Australian culture. Immigration and multiculturalism have injected vitality into this country. The Australian government encourages Australians of different races or nationalities, including indigenous people, to use their mother tongue as English at home or in public places, and also encourages people of any background and ethnic group to preserve their own culture. The Australian federal government even provides various kinds of assistance and subsidies to reward people, groups and organizations that develop multiculturalism.

from the perspective of mainstream culture, Australia belongs to western culture; Its lifestyle is similar to that of Western Europe and North America. Life in Australia is mostly relaxed and friendly, and most immigrants from all over the world like the life full of opportunities here.

Although Australia is often described as a country dominated by rural areas, in fact, it is still the urban culture and cosmopolitan lifestyle that dominate, including delicious food from all over the world.

Australians like to drink beer. In their spare time, especially on weekends, many people like to join friends to drink and chat in bars, enjoy music, or have a barbecue in the park. Australian cities give people an open feeling, with many open parks and green spaces dotted among them. The vast majority of parks in Australia are free, and there are no fences in the parks. In all directions, there are paths in and out of the parks. Convenient transportation can also easily bring people into the national parks in the suburbs of the city.
