The climate in China was very abnormal in 2016 when there were more extreme climate events,such as severe disasters and damages caused by the heavy rainfalls,floods and intensive typhoons.The annual mean air temperature over China was 0.8℃ higher than normal,which is the third warmest since 1951.The averaged air temperatures in every season are above normal,especially the summer is the warmest since 1961.Precipitation was more than normal in all the four seasons,and the winter and autumn precipitations have broken the historical records since 1961.The annual mean precipitation in China was 730.0 mm with 16% more than normal,breaking the historical record since 1951.The first rainy season in South China and rainy season in Southwest China started earlier than normal.The Meiyu event started earlier but ended later with more rainfall than normal.The rainy season in North China was not so long but rainfall amount was more.The autumn rainy period in Western China was shorter than usual,so the rainfall amount was less.In 2016,torrential rains and floods occurred more in southern and northern China.There were more landing typhoons this year and the intensity of the typhoons was stronger when landing.Severe convection weather,like hail,occurred frequently and caused heavy economic losses,especially in northern China.The temperature presented a large fluctuation during this year and the heat wave affected a wide scope over China in summer.The haze events occurred frequently in Jing-Jin-Ji (Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei Province) and the neighboring regions during this autumn-winter period.Positively,the disasters caused by drought,low temperature freezing,heavy snow and sandstorm in spring were lighter in this year.
