The East Asia major trough is stronger than the trough in average condition, and the average south branch trough is located at 80°E nearby and stronger than the normal years. The average temperature (-7.2℃) is 1.7℃ lower than and the average precipitation(16.8 mm) is 3.9 mm more than the same period of normal years in January 2012.
