How Cold Does It Get in Shanghai?
Southerners who say that the north is not cold, either travel to the north or go to school, basically live in places with heating, go out and keep walking, naturally do not feel cold. Often the most afraid of the cold moment, one is sitting still, such as going to work in class, the other is just getting into bed or getting up. In the north, where there is no heating, during the recess when going to school in winter, people in the whole building are stomping their feet, wearing gloves to write, sleeping for half a day in the evening and not being hot under the quilt. In the morning, the clothes should be put on the quilt to keep warm before wearing them, and the children’s clothes should be baked and worn on the stove first. As a northerner who has been here for more than ten years, it can only be said that Shanghai has a bit of a northern feeling in the past few days, but it is not enough, so the air conditioner is not turned on. The air conditioner is hardly turned on here in winter. A quilt is enough to sleep. It is much happier than the north to lift the quilt and get dressed in the morning. Of course, this is related to the good thermal insulation effect of urban buildings, close the window, the temperature is basically more than ten degrees. It is estimated that the countryside in the south will feel colder.
The author grew up in Lanzhou, Gansu Province and went to college in Shanghai for two years. First-hand experience is that the clothes the author wears at minus 1-2 degrees in Shanghai are as thick as those worn at minus 5-6 degrees in Lanzhou.
First, there is no heating in Shanghai. But the place with central air conditioning is still very warm. Such as subway stations and various business circles. But the bad thing about air conditioning for heating is that it is relatively dry. And in a small house, the face that can only be blown by a small hanging air conditioner is very hot. My feet are cold.
Second, Shanghai is relatively humid. The author remembers that around October, when he went out in the evening and came back, the clothes were as if they had just been taken out of the dryer of the washing machine. Being wet and cold is really magic. You can penetrate as many pieces as you wear.
Third, it is cold and windy in Shanghai. If you wear a sweater as a coat, it is almost tantamount to not wearing it in the cold wind.
The coldest winter in Shanghai is in January and February, with an extreme minimum temperature of about 5 degrees below zero, occasionally snowing and raining. But the winter in Shanghai is bleak, which is different from the dry and cold in the north. There is no heating in the room, it all depends on air-conditioning. Many northerners can’t stand the winter in Shanghai and still have to wear down jackets.
Climate and environment:
Shanghai has a subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons, sufficient sunshine and abundant rainfall. Shanghai has a mild and humid climate, with shorter genera in spring and autumn and longer in winter and summer. In 2013, the city’s average temperature was 17.6 ℃, sunshine was 1885.9 hours, and precipitation was 1173.4 mm. More than 60% of the annual rainfall is concentrated in the flood season from May to September.
Shanghai is a subtropical oceanic climate with four distinct seasons. Summer generally starts to feel very hot in mid-June, and there will be a Meiyu period in late June. Summer ends in mid-September. After the arrival of the Beginning of Autumn in August, he usually has to experience a heat wave commonly known by Shanghainese as the “autumn tiger”. In meteorology, winter usually begins from December to February, but the air humidity in Shanghai is high. Most northerners are not used to the winter in Shanghai. There is a kind of cold to the bone feeling, so that people have nowhere to hide. Every year from March to early April, spring rains one after another, it will still make people feel very cold and cold.
It’s hotter in summer, just like entering a steamer! Spring and Autumn is very comfortable!
It is quite cold in winter, seeping into the cold of the bones, and it will be very difficult without air conditioning.
There is air-conditioning in the north, and it is cold outside the house, but it is very comfortable in the house. There is no need to wear a down jacket at home, but Shangdanhai is different. It may be colder in the house than outside. I feel it deeply.
In December, Shanghai has a strong winter flavor, with a general temperature of 3-5 degrees, but because of the high humidity in Shanghai, it feels very cold when exposed to the air. If you are from the north, you can wear a cotton-padded jacket and trousers. Don’t forget the scarf. You can’t stand the cold.
Is It Cold in Shanghai in January? What’s the Weather Like? What’s the Temperature?
Is it cold in Shanghai in January:
It’s cold.
The temperature in winter in Shanghai is usually 3-4 degrees above zero, but because the air humidity in Shanghai is relatively high, people from the north may not be able to adapt to the fact that there is no heating in the houses in Shanghai, so the temperature difference inside and outside the home will not be very big!
What’s the Weather like in January? What’s the Temperature?
The average temperature in January is 4-5 ℃, the highest temperature is 10-16 ℃, and the lowest temperature is-4-5 ℃. It rains a lot, and there will be sleet from time to time. I feel cold and gloomy. It is suitable for wearing a thick coat.
The average temperature in February is 5-6 ℃, the highest temperature is 12-22 ℃, and the lowest temperature is-3-8 ℃. It rains a lot, and there will be sleet from time to time. I feel cold and gloomy. It is suitable for wearing a thick coat.
The cold in Shanghai is different from that in the north. I think it is dry and cold in the north. Shanghai is wet and cold, and it is bitterly cold when it rains.
It is suggested that if you are not afraid of the cold, you should wear a thicker cashmere sweater inside a thick coat. Below, I think winter trousers, that is, warm cotton woolen trousers, should be fine. If you are not used to the wet cold in Shanghai, you will wear a down jacket. If you go out in Shanghai, it is better to have your own car and not afraid of the cold. If not, there is also hot air-conditioning on the bus and subway, and there will also be air-conditioning in the company’s home, so you are not afraid indoors.
All right, friends, you all know clearly that it is still very cold in Shanghai in January.
