What are the similarities and differences between South Africa s climate and China s?

South Africa's climate is mostly savannah, with the eastern coast having a humid tropical climate and the southern coastal having a Mediterranean climate. The climate of the whole territory is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. December and February are summer, and the highest temperature can reach 32-38; 6 August is winter, the lowest temperature is -10 to -12.

Annual precipitation gradually decreases from 1,000 mm in the east to 60 mm in the west, with an average of 450 mm. The average annual temperature in the capital Pretoria is 17.

China's climate has three major characteristics: a significant monsoon characteristic, a distinctly continental climate and a variety of climate types. In winter, the temperature is generally low, hot in the south and cold in the north, and the temperature difference between north and south is large, exceeding 50 degrees Celsius.

The main reasons are: the sun directly hits the southern hemisphere in winter, and the northern hemisphere receives less solar energy; Latitude influence: Winter monsoon prevails in winter.

In summer, high temperatures are common in most parts of the country (except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau), and the temperature difference between north and south is not large. The main reasons are: the sun shines directly on the northern hemisphere in summer, and the northern hemisphere gets more heat; The summer monsoon prevails in summer, and the temperature rises to the highest value in most parts of China; In summer, the higher the altitude of the sun, the higher the latitude, the longer the daylight hours, which slows down the difference between the north and the south in receiving solar light and heat.

The coldest place in winter is Mohe County, Heilongjiang Province, and the hottest place in summer is Turpan, Xinjiang.

Most of South Africa has four distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the time is the opposite of that in the Northern Hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Due to the high terrain, the temperature in South Africa is usually lower than that of countries and regions at the same latitude, but there is no severe cold in winter, and the minimum temperature in some areas is only about -10 degrees Celsius. In general, there is no heat in summer.

South Africa's climate can be divided into five distinct different types of regions. That is, they are desert and scattered semi-desert type areas, Mediterranean type areas, savannah old and decay type areas, temperate steppe type areas and rainforest type areas. The vast majority of South Africa has a savannah-type climate, with rainy summers and dry winters.

Although the north and south of South Africa span 13 degrees of latitude, the difference in temperature and climate between the north and the south is not significant.

The main factors that affect the temperature in South Africa are the level of the terrain and the difference in ocean currents. Due to the influence of the warm Indian Ocean current and the cold Atlantic current, the climate difference between the east and west coasts of South Africa is very significant. The east is warm and humid, while the west is drier.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to Qingdao, the four seasons are relatively stable, that is, the sea breeze is strong, the power of the sun is more obvious, it is warm when it is cold in winter, and it is cool to hide under the tree to escape the heat when it is hot in summer, which is more natural (vernacular text explanation = =).

It is dominated by a savannah climate, centered on the equator, and symmetrically distributed from north to south.

The average year-round temperature in South Africa is 15 to 26 degrees in summer and 8 to 18 degrees in winter.

Winter and summer temperatures will be similar to those in southern China, with cooler summers than northern China and warmer winters than southern China.

Most of South Africa has a savannah climate, with high temperatures throughout the year, with a wet season in summer and a dry season in winter. The south-west (typical city of Cape Town) has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild and rainy winters.

The southernmost point has a Mediterranean climate.
