What's the difference between Guangdong weather and Shandong weather?

Shandong Province, located in the east of China and the lower reaches of the Yellow River, is one of the major coastal provinces and cities in China. Located in the mid-latitude zone of the northern hemisphere. The longest land is about 420 kilometers from north to south and 700 kilometers from east to west. The total land area is 156700 square kilometers, accounting for 1.6% of the national total area, ranking 19 in the country. The territory is bordered by the sea to the east and the mainland to the west. The horizontal terrain is divided into peninsula and inland. Shandong Peninsula in the east stands out between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, facing Liaodong Peninsula across the Bohai Strait. Miaodao islands (also known as Changshan Islands) stands in the Bohai Strait, which is the dividing line between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. It has seized the throat of the Strait and become an important coastal defense gateway to defend the capital Beijing. The western inland borders Hebei, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu in turn from north to south.

Shandong Province is located in the north-south traffic artery in the east of Chinese mainland. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the beijing-shanghai railway and Beijing-Kowloon railways run through the north and south, cross the western region, and connect the whole province with coastal and inland provinces. Ji Jiao Railway runs through the east and west, Blue Smoke Railway runs through the middle of the peninsula, and the expressway network all over the province constitutes convenient transportation extending in all directions.

Shandong is a hilly area in the south-central part of Shandong, with a prominent central part. The eastern part of the peninsula is mostly undulating hilly areas with gentle ups and downs; The west and north are the northwest plain of Shandong Province, which is alluvial by the Yellow River, and it is a part of the Great Plain of North China. Mountains account for about 15.5% of the total land area, hills account for about 13.2%, depressions account for about 4. 1%, lakes and marshes account for about 4.4%, plains account for about 55%, and others account for about 7.8%.

Rivers in Shandong belong to the Yellow River, Haihe River and Huaihe River basins or enter the sea alone. The average river network density in the whole province is 0.24 km/km2, and there are more than 5,000 rivers over 5 km, including more than 50 km 1000, among which the Yellow River, Tu Hai, Ma Jiahe, Yihe River, Shuhe River, Dawen River, Xiaoqing River, Jiaolai River, Weihe River, Dagu River and Wulong River are more important.

The lakes in Shandong are mainly distributed in the contact zone between the hilly areas in central and southern Shandong and the Luxi Plain, with a total area of 65,438 0,496.6 square kilometers and a storage capacity of 2,353 million cubic meters. The larger lakes are Nansi Lake (Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, dushan lake Lake and Nanyang Lake from south to north) and Dongping Lake.

Shandong's coastline is 3024.4 kilometers long, and the mainland coastline accounts for 1/6 of the national coastline, second only to Guangdong Province. There are more than 20 natural harbors on the coastline; There are 296 offshore islands, among which miaodao islands is composed of 18 islands, covering an area of 52.5 square kilometers, which is the largest island group along the Shandong coast. The coastal beach area is about 3,000 square kilometers, and the water area within 15m isobath is about 1.3 million square kilometers. These superior geographical conditions will play a great role in maritime transportation and the development and utilization of marine resources.

Shandong's climate belongs to warm temperate monsoon climate type. Precipitation is concentrated, rain and heat are in the same season, spring and autumn are short, winter and summer are long. The annual average temperature is 1 1℃ ~ 14℃, and the regional difference of temperature in the whole province is greater than that in the north and south. The average annual precipitation is generally between 550 mm and 950 mm, decreasing from southeast to northwest. The province is rich in light resources, with an average light hours of 2300 ~ 2890 hours, and the heat conditions can meet the needs of double cropping a year. Because more than 60% precipitation is concentrated in summer, it is easy to form floods, and droughts often occur in winter and spring, which has the greatest impact on agricultural production.

Now it's winter in Shandong, with 2-3 degrees during the day and about 5 degrees below zero at night. The air is dry and the humidity is 30-40%.
