When we are talking about China Climate, we should keep in mind its geographical
location. This is because it has a major role to play in determining the climate
of China, which is very diverse. You will find extremely cold as well as extremely
warm conditions in the same country.
Wondering how this is possible? China Climate is subjugated by the monsoon
winds, which also affect the rainfall received by the country. Lying in the
temperate belt, the climate of China is influenced by the altitude, latitude
and longitudinal location. The differences in the weather can be felt more in
the winter than in the summer season.
Rainfall is even more uncertain and unequal than the climate. It is the least
in the western most and the northern most parts of the country. Sub-arctic climatic
conditions are experienced by the Heilongjiang, a province in the northern most
part of china.
The extreme in the climate is evident by the mercury readings. While a day
in the winter months in the northern part of China might be -8 degree centigrade
cold, in the summer you will find the same place seething with a little less
than 30 degrees. In the southern part the summers are hot and very moist, lasting
form April to September.
An unwelcome guest might barge in the south-east coast from July to September,
which is the typhoon!
