Every winter when the weather is cold and freezing, the friends of the north and south have started an eternal topic, that is, the north is cold or the south is cold
First of all, winters in northern China are usually dry and cold, which means that the weather is warm and humid is low. The winter in the northern region is cold, especially in the northeast, and the average temperature in January is below -8, which is an extremely cold weather. Due to the proximity of the north to the "Asian High Pressure", the source of cold air in winter, the influence of cold air is very obvious, and the cooling is even more severe.
Winters in southern China are wet and cold, which means that even if the temperature is not very low, the humid environment can make people feel colder. The temperature in the southern region is mostly above 0 in winter, but because it is relatively humid, the southern winter is cold and humid, giving people a biting cold feeling.
Scientific studies have shown that in winter, the greater the relative humidity of the air, the more likely the human body is to lose heat, and the colder people will feel. When it is dry and cold, it is a dry wind blowing, although it is cool, it can conduct heat poorly, and it is not easy to penetrate into the body, so it is not easy to take away heat. When it is wet and cold, even if you wear a thick coat, there may be evaporation and heat absorption, so the wet and cold in the south is from the inside out.
To sum up, wet cold is colder than dry cold at the same temperature. So, while the winters in the north are cooler, the wet and cold in the south can give a more intense chill sensation. Of course, this feeling will also be affected by factors such as personal physique, clothing, and Xi. So do you think it's cold in the north or cold in the south?
