Because of the complexity of the territory's landforms, high and low disparity, the climate varies greatly from place to place. Yin Yang slope is much worse. In the low mountain valley, the sunshine is still enough, the heat is abundant, the rainfall is abundant, and the seasonal change is obvious; in the high mountain area, it is rainy, the temperature is low, the humidity is high, the frost falls early, and the snow cover period is long. The annual average temperature is 15 ℃ in low mountain, 12 ℃ in semi high mountain and 7 ℃ in high mountain.
