According to the "China Climate Bulletin (2023)" released by the China Meteorological Administration a few days ago, the average national temperature in 2023 will be 1071, 0 higher than normal82, the highest since 1951.
According to the communiqué, the average number of high temperature days in the country in 2023 is 4 more than normal4 days, the second most since 1961. The fourth highest number of extreme heat events in history, with daily maximum temperatures breaking or equalling the record in 127 countries.
In terms of precipitation, in 2023, the national average precipitation will be 6150 mm, 3 less than normal9%, the second lowest since 2012. The precipitation in winter, spring and summer is less, and the precipitation in autumn is more. Among the six regions, the precipitation in North China, Northeast China and Northwest China is more, while the precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Southwest China and South China is less. Among the seven major river basins, except for the Pearl River Basin, the Yangtze River Basin and the Liaohe River Basin, the precipitation in the other river basins is relatively high.
Jia Xiaolong, deputy director of the National Climate Center, explained that the latest climate change monitoring of the National Climate Center shows that 2023 is the warmest year since meteorological records began in the world. It can be seen from the historical curves of global and Chinese annual average temperature that since the 80s of the 20th century, the annual average temperature of the world and China has shown a significant fluctuating upward trend, and the temperature is more obvious in El Niño years, and the temperature in La Niña years has dropped slightly. Since May 2023, there has been a moderate-intensity El Niño event in the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean, which is expected to last until spring 2024. Under the combined effects of global warming and El Niño, 2023 will be the warmest year since 1951.
