Tianshan News (Reporter Yu Mengfan reported) On June 23, the whole Xinjiang ushered in the peak of the strongest high temperature process since summer. There are high temperature weather in many places in Xinjiang, and all kinds of topics about "heat" are constantly swiping. At the same time, the "Northwest Wind" in the winter regular visitor in a strong wind warning also appeared in people's sight.

On June 23, Xinjiang Meteorological Observatory issued a large blue warning signal, which mentioned: "Most areas in the north, Turpan, Hami and other areas have 5-6 Northwest gusts, and the wind is about 10 levels of 10 levels. ","

According to past cognition, the northwest wind is a common weather noun in winter weather forecast and early warning. Because its appearance is often associated with "cold frozen" and "cold wave", many people regard Northwest Wind as a representative of cold. The southeast wind, known as the "heater", often appears in spring and summer. Whenever there is a southeast wind, the temperature will rise significantly. So why does the northwest wind in summer?

Chen Chunyan, the chief forecaster of Xinjiang Meteorological Observatory, explained that the wind was blowing from high pressure to low pressure. In winter (mid -high latitudes), cold air often patronized. The so -called cold air invasion, that is, the process of cold high pressure entered, naturally accompanied by northwest wind of different degrees. In summer, the low and low latitudes of warm and humid air flow dominate, but there are often certain cold air accompanied by a relatively cold and high pressure, because the temperature in summer is high, and when there is cold air entering, the probability of short -term wind is very high.

In other words, the northwest wind is not exclusive to winter. The northwest wind from Siberia is constantly "shipping" all year round, but in the summer, the mainstream of the ocean in the direction of the ocean and land, and the heating group is strong. Pay attention. Similarly, the southeast wind is not exclusive to summer. In the cold winter, there are occasional southeast winds to "go the door".

Speaking of the Northwest Wind, do you know that "drinking the Northwest Wind" turned out to be an idiom? It means "there is nothing to eat, it is empty, and it can only drink the coldness of winter." Now it is mostly used to describe life distress and poverty.

The ancients described the poverty why not say "drink southeast wind" or "drink southwest wind", and must use "drinking the Northwest Wind"? Perhaps we can find the answer from the ancient poems: the east wind symbolizes the warm spring, the south wind symbolizes the hot summer, the west wind symbolizes the autumn of Xiao Se, and the north wind symbolizes the cold winter. The word "east" and "south", or warm or hot, if these two words are described, are not enough to reflect the degree of poverty. Especially when people think of the cold winds in the winter in the northwest, they have fallen into "drinking wind and full", and the degree of poverty is naturally higher.
