Is the temperature higher or lower in 2023 than in previous years?
The winter in 2023 should be cold winter, but there is still a period of time in winter now, and the real-time weather can prevail.
2023 is a cold winter. As far as the present situation is concerned, the winter in 2023 will be cold. After all, 2023 is the year of La Nina. The so-called La Nina year means that the probability of cold in winter in the south is higher than that in the north, so it is prone to extreme cold.
Under normal circumstances, it may be warm in winter if it is affected by the El Niñ o phenomenon that year. On the contrary, if La Nina happens, it may be cold in winter, which is colder than the previous winter.
La Nina:
La Nina refers to the phenomenon that the sea surface temperature in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean continues to be abnormally cold (just the opposite of El Niñ o phenomenon), which is the product of the interaction between tropical ocean and atmosphere.
Meteorologists and oceanographers use it to refer to the large-scale continuous abnormal cooling of seawater in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific (the surface temperature of seawater is lower than the climate average by more than 0.5℃ for more than 6 months). La Nina is also known as the anti-El Nino phenomenon.
El Nino and La Nina are abnormal manifestations of alternating sea surface temperature in the equatorial, Middle East and Pacific Ocean, forming a cycle. La Nina phenomenon after El Nino is not uncommon. Similarly, La Nina will be followed by El Nino. However, according to the records since 1950, the frequency of El Nino is higher than that of La Nina.
