Why isn't it cold this winter?
How long will NJ wait for the first snow?
Overall warm winter this year, first snow still to be waited for
Just look at the whereabouts of the cold air, in fact, diligent enough, but how to feel this winter is not cold? Women's clothing area in the mall shopping around, found that most of the brand counter main push or short coat, small jacket.
The clerk introduced: "This year to ask not many customers of down jacket, light models of down jacket relatively well sold, this week to buy New Year's clothes customers even pick up the spring and fall models!"
According to China Weather, the national average temperature in 2024 was 10.92°C, 1.03°C higher than the same period in normal years.It became the warmest year since 1961.
As seen through the statistical chart, the country's provinces and cities have been categorized into four classes based on their average annual temperatures.Nanjing sits firmly in the "first warm" among the 22 provinces, autonomous regions and cities.
In 2024, Nanjing has been on the warm side since the beginning of fall, with the average temperature from September to November 1.9℃ higher than that of the same period in normal years; the city's average temperature in December was between 4.3℃ and 6.1℃, and except for Liuhui, Lishui and Gaochun, all other areas were about 0.2℃ higher than that of the same period in normal years.
Nearly a month of "low point" appeared in December 29, Nanjing main city at a minimum of -3 ℃, Liuhui, Lishui fell to -6 ℃ in two places. Nevertheless, many people said "no feeling, quite warm".
"From the national data, the observation history of the last four years ranked in the top four warm, visible in the winter temperature rise in the overall trend is obvious." Chen Qu, deputy director of the city's meteorological service center, said that the climate is significantly warming the objective situation, we are facing a new change in the temperature year by year, precipitation patterns change, theIn the coming week, the city's maximum temperature stays above 10 degrees Celsius, and for the time being, it is impossible to predict the time of snow.
According to the National Climate Center issued a rolling forecast of national climate trends in winter, except for the northwestern part of the Northeast, northeastern Inner Mongolia and the western part of the northwest, northwestern Northwest China, northern Xinjiang, southeastern Southwest China and other places, the rest of the winter temperature this year is close to the same period as the normal year or higher.From this, it seems that Nanjing will also be an overall warm situation this winter.
"It's not cold" can also be an illusion of continuous sunny days.
However, there are meteorological experts believe that "not cold" is the illusion caused by the sunny weather, "the daytime sunny temperatures rise quickly, the body will not feel particularly cold, but the night cooling is more obvious, the temperature difference between morning and evening."
Nearly half a month in Nanjing clear without rain, the relative humidity in the air is less than 30%, far below the human body feel comfortable 45% ~ 65% range. Citizen Ms. Chen's biggest feeling is "do not dare to take frequent baths, the more you wash your skin, the drier it gets", she said.Since winter, the family bathing frequency has dropped significantly, the body milk has become the family love to use the "group favorite".
Online discussion about "southerners recently do not take a shower every day" is also hot, in this regard, experts give advice is:Just take a shower 1 or 2 times a week and try to limit it to 5 to 10 minutes.
Throughout December, rain in the Nanjing area only showed its face three times, the city's precipitation was 6.6-22.9 millimeters, compared with the normal year significantly less than five to eighty percent.Will this winter be "dry" all the way to the end?
"December rains are still not plentiful, with a brief precipitation process possible on January 4 and 12 in the near future. The key lies in the subsequent precipitation performance in January and February." Weather service center staff said that according to the past years, by the second half of February, precipitation will be relatively concentrated, or can pull up the total winter precipitation by itself.
