What is the climate in Xinjiang?
The climate type of Xinjiang is mainly temperate continental. The annual and daily differences in temperature are large, which is due to the fact that Xinjiang is deeply inland, far from the sea, and little influenced by the sea, coupled with the closed topography, resulting in a significant continental character of the climate.
Annual precipitation is relatively low, and precipitation is mainly concentrated in summer. This is mainly due to the fact that Xinjiang is deeply inland and oceanic water vapor is difficult to reach, while the closed topography also exacerbates the scarcity of precipitation. However, precipitation in Xinjiang is mainly brought by Atlantic Ocean water vapor from the westerly wind belt and a small amount of water vapor from the Arctic Ocean, so the northern Xinjiang region receives more precipitation than the southern Xinjiang region.
The Xinjiang region has long sunshine hours and abundant sunshine resources. This is due to its high altitude, good atmospheric transparency and low precipitation.
