CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The map of Chongqing’s hot springs for 2023 was released on November 22, said the WeChat Official Account of Chongqing Weather. Let’s see where we can enjoy a warm winter this year!

How cold was it during the Light Snow period in previous years?

Winter has started in most places

Meteorologically, when the 5-day mean temperature is less than 10 ℃, the first of the five days will be regarded as the starting date of winter. If the winter of a year comes more than 15 days earlier than that in the past years, there should be another assessment. (QX/T 152-2012, Division of Climatic Seasons).

According to the data of previous years provided by the Chongqing Climate Monitoring and Analysis Platform, the average temperature in the 12 solar terms of autumn and winter showed a downward trend. The average temperature dropped from 10.9℃ to 8.5℃ during the period between Light Snow to Heavy Snow. During the Beginning of Winter solar term, only one district/county began the winter, and the number reached 15 during the Light Snow solar term.

How is Chongqing's winter this year? The current statistics show that Chengkou, Youyang, and Qianjiang have begun winter, and most of the other areas remain to be observed.
