Guangzhou, a subtropical city in southern China, enjoys a mild and humid winter climate, making snowfall an extremely rare occurrence. The last time noticeable snow was observed in Guangzhou’s urban area was in January 2016, when a powerful cold wave brought sleet and even brief periods of pure snow—a phenomenon that hadn’t been recorded in the city proper since 1949, sparking widespread public excitement and discussion. An earlier snow event occurred as far back as 1967, over half a century ago. Located near 23°N latitude with an annual average temperature above 20°C, Guangzhou typically lacks the sustained low temperatures required for snow formation, despite ample moisture. Experts note that while climate change has increased the frequency of extreme weather events—occasionally bringing freezing conditions to southern China—genuine snowfall remains highly unlikely. Thus, the popular saying ‘Guangzhou last saw snow ten years ago’ is slightly exaggerated (it’s actually been about 8–9 years), yet it captures the public’s vivid memory of this rare meteorological spectacle. Should another strong cold front coincide with sufficient atmospheric moisture in the future, similar conditions might reoccur—but such events remain unpredictable in both frequency and intensity.
广州作为中国南方的亚热带城市，冬季气候温暖湿润，降雪极为罕见。上一次广州城区出现明显降雪还要追溯到2016年1月，当时受强寒潮影响，广州多地出现了雨夹雪甚至短暂的纯雪现象，这是自1949年以来市区第二次记录到降雪，引发市民广泛关注和热议。更早的一次则是在1967年，距今已超过半个世纪。由于广州地处北纬23度左右，年均气温在20℃以上，水汽充足但低温条件不足，因此很难形成降雪所需的气象条件。专家指出，随着全球气候变化，极端天气事件频发，虽然南方城市偶有低温冰冻，但真正意义上的降雪仍属小概率事件。因此，‘广州上一次下雪还是10年前’这一说法虽略有夸张（实际为约8-9年前），却也反映出公众对南方罕见雪景的深刻印象与记忆。未来若再遇强冷空气与充足水汽交汇，不排除再次出现类似天气现象，但其频率和强度仍难以预测。
