Winter Solstice Weather and Climate Query in the North and South

——Climate characteristics of winter solstice in the north:
》The winter solstice is the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and my country is a region where winter comes relatively early. The early arrival of winter means that the cold comes earlier, especially in Northeast and Northwest my country, where the cold winter comes faster than anywhere else in my country.
》During the winter solstice, the average temperature in northwest my country is mostly below zero degrees, and even in the south, the temperature is around seven degrees.
—— Weather and climate characteristics of winter solstice in the south:
In the river valleys with lower altitudes in southwest my country and some areas in south China, the temperature is still above ten degrees even in the coldest days of winter, which is equivalent to no winter throughout the year.
——What impact do climate characteristics have?
The climate characteristics of the winter solstice are heavy snow and low temperatures. This is because the cold in Siberia has reached its peak at this time. Cold air continues to invade our country, low temperatures begin to persist, and snowfall becomes frequent.
The damp and cold weather in the southern region has worsened because the cold air has become colder. When it moves south and comes into contact with warmer air, precipitation occurs. This causes both a drop in temperature and precipitation and snow. You can imagine how cold it is.
——This season is also the most prone to freezing rain, which is very harmful to our transportation and agriculture. Everyone should pay attention to keep warm!
