Was the winter that just passed a warm winter or a cold winter? China Meteorological Administration responded. In the winter of 2023/2024, the national average temperature is -2.8°C, 0.3°C higher than the same period in normal years.
This is the 10th warmest period in history since 1961. The probability of a 'warm winter' in China during El Niño years is relatively high. However, the most important factors affecting the cold and warm winters in China are mid- and high-latitude circulation systems such as the Siberian High.
