Tibet’s climate is unique, complex and diverse due to the influence of topography, landforms and atmospheric circulation. The climate is generally cold and dry in the northwest and warm and humid in the southeast. Therefore, the climate types from southeast to northwest are: tropical, subtropical, plateau temperate zone, plateau sub-frigid zone, plateau frigid zone and other types.
In the alpine and canyon areas of southeastern Tibet and the southern slopes of the Himalayas, as the terrain rises repeatedly and the temperature gradually drops, the climate changes vertically from tropical or subtropical climate to temperate zone, cold temperate zone and frigid zone climate.
