There was only one polar vortex center, whose center was near Greenland, in the Northern Hemisphere with weaker strength compared to normal years. More high level troughs were active in middle high latitudes. The northwestern Pacific subtropical high was weaker than normal. The monthly mean precipitation amount was 99.9 mm, near climatological normal (99.3 mm). The monthly mean temperature was 20.7℃, being 0.7℃ higher than normal (20.0℃). Seven heavy rainfall processes occurred in this month and extreme daily precipitation was recorded at many stations and some places suffered from severe floods.
