At present, the strongest cold wave weather process since this winter is affecting our country. This morning (December 15), most of the northern part of China is frozen, and the northeast of Inner Mongolia and the northern part of Heilongjiang even have extremely cold weather below -40, of which the lowest temperature in Tuli River in Inner Mongolia is only -443℃。In the next two days, the minimum temperature in some parts of North China, Huanghuai and other places may also be close to or break the record, encountering rare cold in the same period. So, the coldest place in our country is **?How cold is it at the coldest time?Do you know who the "Three Sons of Extreme Cold" are?China Weather Network has counted the temperature data of all national weather stations from 1951 to 2022 to tell you what real cold is.
52.3℃!Heilongjiang Mohe won the national extreme low temperature ranking champion.
Judging from the national ranking of extreme low temperature sites, Heilongjiang Mohe relies on -523 Win the championship. This number, don't you feel trembling when you look at it?Xinjiang Fuyun and Inner Mongolia Tuli River are separated.
In the second and third places, the extreme minimum temperature also reached -50 or below. From the perspective of the provincial distribution of the site, Heilongjiang occupies 4 seats, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang have 3 respectively, and Qinghai only Maduo barely ranks tenth with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.
The coldest place in winter ranks the Inner Mongolia team is stronger.
Extreme low temperatures are compared to the "explosive power" of the cold, while average temperatures are compared to the "endurance" of the cold. From the perspective of the average temperature of normal winter (December to February), Mohe is still the lowest, only -264, China's cold industry "first brother" deserves its name. However, from the perspective of the provincial distribution of the sites, the team strength in Inner Mongolia is significantly stronger, with a total of 5 sites on the list: Tuli River, Genhe, Erguna, Yakeshi, and Chenbalhuqi. Only one site in Xinjiang is Bayingbrook on the list.
The three sons of the "extreme cold" - Tuli River, Mohe River, and Gen River.
Temperatures with a minimum temperature of -40 or less are known as "extremely cold" weather, which can be said to be the coldest of the cold. We counted the number of "extremely cold" days between 1951 and 2022 for all stations in the top two lists, and the top three were Tuli River, Mohe River, and Genhe River, with 1,147 days, 1,052 days, and 984 days, respectively. This means that the local area will spend about half a month a year on average, and will experience the test of extreme cold below -40.
Judging from the above statistical results, most of the coldest stations in China are concentrated in the northeast of Inner Mongolia - the Daxinganling area. According to Wang Weiyue, a meteorological analyst at China Weather Network, this area is one of the most frequently affected areas by cold air in China, and the local base temperature will drop very low due to multiple cold air activities in winter. In addition, when the cold air arrives, it will be blocked by the Great Khing'an Mountains and accumulate here, causing the temperature to drop further. In addition, this area is also a relatively high latitude area in China, with short days and long nights in winter, receiving the least solar radiation and losing more heat outward, so it has become one of the coldest areas in China.
Take stock of the "god skills" that can only be unlocked in extremely cold weather
The freeze is smoking. Every winter, there will be a scene of "freezing and smoking" in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang, which has aroused many netizens to watch. Actually, this is not smoke, but ice fog, the most "cold" and least common member of the fog family. Ice fog is composed entirely of ice crystals, also known as ice crystal fog, and is commonly found in winter in severe cold regions. It is very demanding on temperature, and generally only forms when the temperature is below -40.
Ice and snow makeup. In the weather below -40, even if people are fully armed when they go out, the exhaled breath will condense into Xiaoice crystals when it is cold, which will attach to eyelashes, scarves, and hats, forming a unique "ice and snow makeup". This makeup was once all the rage on foreign social networks. If you want to get this makeup, you need to meet the following two conditions: first, the temperature is low enough;Second, you have to be cold tolerant enough.
Splash water into ice. In recent years, tourists who travel to the Northeast in winter have one more reserved item, that is, to play a "splash of water into ice". Find a thermos cup with a strainer, fill it with 90 percent water, choose a beautiful background, jump, sway, and in an instant the water mist or Xiaoice beads scatter and draw a beautiful arc in the air. Such a blockbuster will definitely make you the most beautiful boy in the circle of friends.
