A piece of trivia:
The intensification of global warming will cause winter to get colder and colder.
Especially the warming of the polar regions has a significant impact on the winter climate in North America and East Asia. New research has found that warming in the polar regions will disrupt an airflow pattern called the "polar vortex", causing cold air to flow to other areas, leading to cold waves and more frequent extreme cold weather.
In short, it is a very complex meteorological chain reaction.

I feel the same way, winter is really getting colder. At the beginning of last year, the lowest temperature in Beijing reached minus 19.6 degrees Celsius one day, setting a new low in 50 years. To be honest, I have never felt that the capital has been so cold in my whole life. The lowest temperatures in many other places have also fallen below historical extremes.
By the way, I used to think that the coldest place in the country was the three northeastern provinces , but after checking the information, I found that Inner Mongolia is even worse (forgive my ignorance) 👇

Let me share something I didn’t know before. It turns out that the coldest place in our country is not Mohe, but Genhe.
This city with the second highest latitude in China is known as the "Cold Pole of China" 👇
Genhe City is located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
Formerly known as Ergun Zuo Banner
It is the county-level city with the second highest latitude in China
No one knows whether we are experiencing the coldest winter since meteorological records began, and whether next year we will encounter the legendary thousand-year extreme cold.Therefore, we must have at least 2 or 3 down jackets with excellent performance and different warmth levels in our wardrobes to survive the winter. After all, the feeling of being blown through the internal organs by the north wind and being shaved like a heavy snow blade is really terrible.

Last week we talked about the hard indicators to judge the quality of a down jacket. This week we recommend cost-effective items based on the cold level. Today we will introduce what kind of down jacket is suitable for the temperature range of "-19.9℃ ~ -10℃".
Note: Try to achieve a balance between performance, appearance, brand and whether it is easy to buy. However, due to different personal physiques, subjective feelings and dressing habits, there are objective differences in the evaluation of the thermal performance of down jackets. The
indicator data is quoted from the brand's official website and e-commerce platform, and the possibility of false indicators cannot be ruled out.
What is the coldest level where you live?
"-19.9 ℃ ~ -10 ℃" This temperature range is not too cold, and there is no need to wear a down jacket with a high level of warmth. The fill power, down content, and other configurations do not need to be too high.
Especially if you only move in urban areas, there is no need to pursue excessive technical content, just wear something that looks good and you like it.
