What is the climate like in Quanzhou?

The climate in Quanzhou is good.

Quanzhou City is located at low latitudes, facing the ocean to the east, and has a subtropical oceanic monsoon climate. It has superior climate conditions and rich climate resources. The climate of Quanzhou City has three basic characteristics: first, high temperature and abundant light and heat. The total annual solar radiation is 120-140 kcal/cm², the annual average temperature in most areas is 19.5-21.0℃, the average temperature in the hottest month is 26-29℃, and the coldest month is 9-13℃.

The frost-free period is long throughout the year, and coastal areas are basically frost-free. The effective accumulated temperature ≥10℃ is 5610-7250℃. The annual sunshine hours are 1800-2200 hours. Second, precipitation is abundant, but its distribution in time and space is uneven. The city's annual precipitation is 1,000-1,800 mm, increasing from the southeast to the northwest, and is about twice as much in inland areas as in coastal areas.

The dry and wet seasons are very distinct: from March to September, the precipitation accounts for 80% of the whole year, which is the wet season; from October to February, which accounts for only 20% of the whole year, it is the dry season. The inter-annual variation rate of precipitation is large, and the precipitation in drier years is less than half of that in wet years. Third, the monsoon climate is significant.

The winter half of the year is mainly controlled by the Mongolian cold high pressure wedge, with northerly winds prevailing, low temperatures, dryness and little rain; the summer half of the year is mainly controlled by the subtropical high pressure, with southerly winds prevailing, temperatures high, humid and rainy.

Quanzhou City Topography

The geotectonic structure of Quanzhou City is located in the southeastern part of the South China fold system and the central and southern section of the East Minden volcanic fault belt. The structural belts are all distributed in the northeast-southwest direction. More than four-fifths of the area in the territory is distributed between Mesozoic volcanic rock series and intrusive rocks, with the exposed area of ​​the two accounting for about half. The distribution area of ​​intrusive rocks increases from northwest to southeast and becomes the main body.

The main trunk of the Daiyun Mountains in the middle section of the mountainous belt in central Fujian runs in the northeast-southwest direction, lying across the territory of Dehua in the northwest. It is huge in scale. The main peak is 1856 meters above sea level, making it the second highest peak in Fujian Province. Its branches and remaining veins extend to the southeast and south. The terrain is high in the northwest and descends in steps to the southeast, forming a multi-layered topography landscape that changes from medium and low mountains to hills, terraces and plains.
