Where did it snow the earliest in China?
In the arid desert region of northwest China, due to the dry climate, snowfall is scarce. Compared with the eastern region, the first snow is late and the last snow is early. For example, in Qiemo, the southern margin of Tarim Basin, the average first snow date is 65438+February 25th, which is close to Hengyang in southern Hunan and Ji 'an in central Jiangxi, while the average last snow date is 65438+March, which is close to Guilin in Guangxi and Lianxian in Guangdong.
The earliest and latest snows in China are in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and some northern mountainous areas. As long as the altitude of these places is above a certain height, there will be snow even in July and August in midsummer. For example, Wudaoliang Meteorological Station at an altitude of 4,645 meters in Golmud has an average of 82.3 days of snow every year, including July and August * *15.2 days, even more than February and110 days in the middle of winter, and there is Wuqiato Cloud at an altitude of 3,505 meters in Xinjiang.
