Please tell me about the dry climate in the northwest region (Gansu, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Shaanxi, etc.). Details are in the supplement.
First of all, let me introduce myself. I am a native of Gansu. My parents are both farmers. Now I am studying in Liaoning. First of all, the first question is that the northwest has a typical temperate continental climate with cold, dry winters and hot summers with little rainfall. Crops generally mature before August, only potatoes will be later. There is less rainfall in July. In some years, there is very little rain in a month, 8.9 The month belongs to autumn, but in normal years, there is a lot of rain here in autumn, which affects the autumn harvest almost every year! (As a child of a farmer, I really hate this kind of climate with little rain in summer and rainy autumn) The rainfall in October is moderate but it may start to rain in the second half of the year!
The second question is about drying clothes. In the summer, it may only take three or four hours to dry the clothes in one day. In winter, it is difficult to dry the clothes for two or three days!
The third question is about roses. We also have roses at home. To dry roses, we have to find a particularly good weather and they will usually dry out in a day.
The fourth question is about local crops. As for the planting structure, Gansu mainly grows wheat, corn, and potatoes, which generally mature once a year. However, Tianshui, which is the southernmost part of Gansu, has a subtropical monsoon climate, so it will ripen more frequently.
The fifth question is specific. . .
Take our family as an example. Our family is located in the Hexi Corridor in the central part of Gansu Province. Specifically, Jiaojiazhuang Village, Jiaojiazhuang Township, Yongchang County, Jinchang City. Our crops mainly grow wheat and barley. In recent years, the price of barley has skyrocketed. We all grow barley there. The yield of barley is higher than that of wheat. Farmers' income will be higher. Generally, they are sown around the Qingming Festival and harvested in August.
This is the corner of the northwest where I was born and raised. Haha, let me laugh at myself. The climate is really not that good in comparison. It is too dry in Liaoning. The main reason is that there are too few surface plants, too much sandy ground, and the temperature difference between day and night is too large (wear a cotton jacket in the morning and wear gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove). Let’s stop here. I hope it can help you
