Will it snow in Hainan? Is there any record of snow in ancient history?
There have been many records of snow in Hainan's history, and it will snow in Hainan in history. In modern Hainan, the last time it was below zero occurred in Baisha County, Hainan Province in 1963, and the temperature was below zero 1.4 degrees. Such a temperature is incredible in tropical areas like Hainan, but it also indirectly proves that the record of repeated snowing in Hainan's history is not groundless. Let's talk about this problem together.
1. There were eight snows in Shanghai in history, and these snows happened to meet the Little Ice Age in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Snowfall in southern Xinjiang is much more south than it is now, once reaching the south of Guangdong and Guangxi. According to the comprehensive records in China Meteorological Disaster Ceremony, there were severe cold wave disasters *** 17 times in China before 1900, and 13 times in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the winter of 1453, rare heavy snow fell in parts of southern China, which was extremely cold, even in Guangdong and Guangxi. It snowed eight times in Hainan during this period, not only below zero.
2. The time nodes and locations of the eight snows in Hainan are as follows: The first record was in Wanzhou, the year of Zheng Deyuan in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Wanning in Hainan in 1506, with winter rain and snow. The second time was in Wanzhou, the seventh year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty. It was the winter of 2008, and it was snowing all over the state. The third time was Lingao in the ninth year of Chongzhen, 65438+February 15, that is, 1637 65438+ 10. It snowed for three days and nights, and all the trees withered. The fourth time was in Wenchang in the 22nd year of Kangxi. In winter, the heavy snow froze the fish in the sea, and the coconut trees and betel nut trees were also freeze-dried. For the fifth time in the 23rd year of Kangxi, frost appeared in winter. The sixth time was in Qiongshan in the forty-second year of Kangxi. In winter, it rains and snows like frost, the trees are basically frozen to death, and more than half of betel nuts are dead.
According to the above historical records, there are not only sub-zero temperatures in Hainan's history, but also a lot of snow. The latest sub-zero temperature in modern Hainan Province was 1963 in Baisha County, Hainan Province, and the temperature was-1.4 degrees.
When it comes to Hainan, people can think of Sanya, sunny beaches and coconut tropical fruits. It is impossible to say that it snows in Hainan.
First of all, look at the geographical location of Hainan Island. Hainan Island is located in the northern edge of the tropics and belongs to the tropical monsoon climate. It has always been known as a "natural greenhouse". Summer is long without winter, and the annual average temperature is 22~27℃. Even in the coldest January, the temperature still reaches 17 ~ 24℃, which can't reach the temperature of snow at all. Do you think it snows in Hainan and the end of the world is not far away?
In 20 18, it snowed in many places all over the country. It naturally doesn't snow in Hainan, but do you know that it really snowed in Hainan in history?
Now let's sell a pass here. Let's buy a lock and talk about what the "Little Ice Age" is, not to mention when it snows in Hainan. The Little Ice Age, as its name implies, refers to the global climate entering a cold period, which lasted from the end of 15 to the beginning of 2 1 century. It is also called "Little Ice Age of Ming and Qing Dynasties" in China. During the relatively cold climate period of "Little Ice Age of Ming and Qing Dynasties", the snowstorm, frost and freezing disasters in tropical areas of China increased obviously.
From some local chronicles and related historical records, it can be found that the southernmost snow line in China in Ming and Qing Dynasties was obviously more southerly than that in modern times. Around 1893, snowfall occurred in Guangdong, Guangxi coastal areas and Hainan Qiongshan, which has a history of more than 125 years.
The historical lowest temperature in Hainan10.963+15 is 65438+65438, and it appears in Baisha Li Autonomous County-1.4℃ (recorded by China Weather Network). In fact, there were many frosts in Hainan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there were records that plants, old people, cattle, sheep and livestock were frozen to death by cold air.
Let's take a concrete look at when it snows in Hainan.
1. In the year of Zheng Deyuan (1506), there was rain and snow in Wanzhou (now Wanning) in winter.
