Abstract:
The general feature of China’s climate in 2019 was warm and wet. The annual mean temperature was 0.79℃ higher than normal, becoming the fifth warmest year since 1951. The temperatures in all the four seasons were above normal, and obviously warmer in spring and autumn. The annual mean precipitation over China was 645.5 mm with 2.5% above normal. The seasonal precipitations in winter, spring and summer were above normal, but below normal in autumn. The prerainy season in South China started earlier and ended later than normal, resulting in the longest rainy period and the second largest amount of precipitation since 1961. However, the onset and end of the rainy season in Southwest China were both later than the climatological dates, and the precipitation amount was deficient there. The Meiyu season started later but ended earlier than normal, leading to less precipitation during the rainy period. The rainy season in North China started later and ended at the time near normal, so the rainfall was less. Both the autumn rain in West China and the rainy 〖JP2〗season in Northeast China started early but ended late, contributing more rainfall. In 2019, the generated typhoons were more than normal, but the landing typhoons were not so many, of which only “Lekima” brought serious damages. As for other meteorological disasters, such as rainstorm, floods, droughts, severe convection, cold freezing and snow disaster as well as sanddust storms, were all mild relatively.
