Wang Yue Cover news reporter Wu Bingqing

On February 8, the second working day of the Year of the Tiger, many places in the Sichuan Basin finally welcomed the sun! However, the sun is also short-lived.

If you summarize the Spring Festival in one word, most Sichuanese will definitely blurt out: cold.

Chinese New Year's Eve, the sun briefly appeared, followed by a rainy day. The afternoon of the second day of the first year was not easy to clear, the afternoon of the third day of the first year turned cloudy again, and then it turned into a rainy home. This Spring Festival, cold and rain have become the key words in Sichuan, and even Xichang, which used to be full of sunshine, has snowed.

The data shows that this is indeed the coldest Spring Festival in the past 10 years.

Sichuan ushered in the coldest Spring Festival in the past 10 years

This Spring Festival, the cold is very serious. The reporter learned from the Sichuan Provincial Climate Center that from January 31 to February 6, 2022, the average temperature in Sichuan Province was 4.1 °C, which was 2 °C lower than the same period of the year;

The average temperature in Chengdu is 5.1 °C, which is 1.4 °C lower than the same period of the year.

Overall, this year's cold is a little different – not only the basin is cold, but also Liangshan Prefecture. However, in the later part of the holiday, the temperature in Liangshan and other places rose, so overall, the early stage of the Sichuan holiday (January 31 to February 3) was colder, with an average temperature of only 3.7 °C, and the temperature rose to 4.6 °C in the later period. But the basin is different - the rain in the basin is more pronounced late in the holiday, taking Chengdu as an example, the average temperature in Chengdu in the early stage of the holiday was 5.2 °C, and it dropped to 5.0 °C in the later stage.

This Spring Festival holiday is also the coldest in the past decade. The reporter inquired about the temperature data of the Spring Festival holiday in the past 10 years, and the average temperature of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Tiger in 2022 was the lowest. The warmest is the Spring Festival of the Year of the Ox in 2021, the average temperature in Sichuan Province reached 10.2 °C, and the average temperature in Chengdu even reached 12 °C, which is already the temperature of spring. Also warm to more than 10 ° C, there is the Spring Festival of 2015.

Some would argue that this may be because of the early Chinese New Year this year. However, the New Year in 2014 was also early, and the Spring Festival holiday was also from January 31 to February 6, but the average temperature in Sichuan Province during the Spring Festival holiday was 9.1 °C, and the average temperature in Chengdu was 9.8 °C.

One of the driving forces behind the "Coldest Spring Festival" has not yet closed

Why is the Spring Festival so cold this year? This is related to cold air and also to the active southern branch of the plateau.

Although the northern sky is clear during the Spring Festival, in fact, the weak cold air is still very active, and these cold air affects Sichuan in the form of diffusion, and with the continuous active influence of the southern branch of the plateau, rain and snow weather appears, bringing a cold feeling.

Chengdu has been raining continuously since the fourth day of the Chinese New Year. On February 8, the sky finally cleared and the sun began to work. However, the sun, which is lazy and accustomed to the holidays, is still in a state of "touching the fish" - occasionally going online and often napping.

The reporter learned from the Sichuan Meteorological Observatory that in the future, the fluctuations of the southern branch of the plateau are still in an active period, but fortunately, the cold air in the middle and high latitudes is weak, and there is less rain and snow in our province, but it is still dominated by shade, and the temperature is rising, but it is very slow. On the 9th-10th, occasional sunshine comes online in the northern part of the basin. A little brighter sunshine, maybe on the 13th.
