Experts say that Shaanxi may experience extremely cold weather this winter. Is there any scientific basis for this conclusion?

Shaanxi’s geographical location is actually relatively superior. It is in the middle of the entire territory of mainland China. China's north-south dividing line, the Qinling Mountains, and the Huaihe River line do not pass through the south of Shaanxi. Therefore, overall Shaanxi is a northern province, but there is still a small part that belongs to the south.

Because Shaanxi is located inland, its four seasons are relatively distinct. Although it is a northern province, its latitude is not particularly high, so the temperature in winter is relatively low. However, there may be northwest winds blowing from Siberia on certain days, which can cause the temperature to drop particularly low. In addition, the overall global temperature has increased in recent years, so the winter in Shaanxi has not been particularly cold in recent years. In summer, the temperature in Shaanxi is relatively high. Because it is inland, there is relatively little precipitation, and once there is precipitation, it will be particularly concentrated. Another very obvious feature is that its spring and autumn are extremely short. Generally, spring or autumn lasts less than ten days.

But it rained a lot in Shaanxi from August to September this year, and it lasted for many days at a time. People often say that one autumn rain brings another cold. Of course, the more rain there is in autumn, the sooner winter will come. Therefore, the rainfall in Shaanxi during that period also had a great impact on the recent cooling. Recently in Shaanxi, you can see that people in many places have put on down jackets, and citizens in cities slightly to the south have also put on very thick clothes.

What is particularly different from previous years is that the temperature drops very quickly this time. According to historical data from previous years, such cold weather generally does not occur until November. Therefore, those meteorological experts have speculated that the winter in Shaanxi this year may be very cold based on the climate changes in the past period. There must be a scientific basis. Therefore, under such severe cold conditions, it is not suitable for the elderly and children. , you should do a good job of keeping warm.
