Using the data of temperature and precipitation of six representative meteorological stations in the coastland of South China from 1958 to 1999,the climatic change of the coastland of South China is analysed.The results show that the temperature for the past 42 years appears to be going up(0 188℃/10a),especially during the period of 1990s,and the year 1998 was the warmest year during the last 42 years in the coastland of South China.For this reason ,in terms of the limit of the mid 1980s the climate of the coastland of South China for the past 42 years could be divided into 2 stages,the former is a cold period,and the latter is a warm period.Furthermore,the precipitation for the past 42 years appears to be ascending (29 46mm/10a).
