    China is massive though, Mohe is further north than Mongolia, it’s 2,200 km north of Beijing.

    It’s nowhere near the central wheat fields so it’s not really comparable

      I’m not saying the agricultural circumstances are comparable.

      I’m saying that it’s the changes to weather patterns, hot or cold wet or dry, that are scary.

      “It was hotter” is IMO a bit of a distraction, because no one really knows what that means in practical terms.

      Like in the linked Reuters article, the higher than usual rainfall could well be more problematic than the higher maximum temp.
