Overview
Xinjiang weather is a temperate extreme continental, with a large temperature difference between day and night, sufficient sunshine time (annual sunshine time is 2500-3500 hours), little precipitation, and dry weather. The average yearly rainfall in Xinjiang is about 150 mm, but there is a big difference in moisture in different regions. The temperature in Southern Xinjiang is higher than in Northern Xinjiang, and the precipitation in North Xinjiang is higher than that in Southern Xinjiang. In the coldest month (January), the average temperature is – 20 ℃ in the Junggar Basin. The absolute minimum temperature in Fuyun County on the northern edge of the basin once reached – 50.15 ℃, one of China’s coldest areas. In the hottest month (July), the average temperature in Turpan, known as “Huozhou ( Fire Continent ),” is above 33 ℃, and the absolute maximum temperature once reached 49.6 ℃, ranking the first in China. Because of the significant temperature difference between spring and summer and autumn and winter in most of Xinjiang, there has always been a saying that ” wear fur coat as early as possible, wear gauze at noon and eat watermelon around the stove.” Xinjiang travel is favored by people, which should be attributed to Xinjiang’s unique climate conditions.
