The geographical location of Hubei province is between NL 29 degrees 05 minutes ~33 degrees 20 minutes and EL 108 degrees 21 minutes -116 degrees 07 minutes, which mainly belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, it is characterized by transition from subtropical to temperate. The average temperature in the whole province is 15-17 ℃ , the coldest in January, the average temperature in most areas is 3-6 ℃ , and the hottest in July, the average temperature is 27-29 ℃ . Due to the huge thermal difference between the sea and land, the cold and high pressure of Siberia-Mongolia in winter and the hot and low pressure of Indian monsoon in summer are formed on the ground barometric field, which makes the prevailing wind direction on the ground generate periodic conversion accordingly. Winter monsoon is cold and dry, resulting in low temperature and less precipitation in winter. In summer, the southward wind blowing from the ocean to the mainland prevails, which is warm and moist, resulting in cold and dry winter, hot and rainy summer and frequent meteorological disasters.
