The annual mean air temperature and precipitation were the eighth and fourth highest respectively since 1951. In general, the disasters caused by rainstorm and flood were more serious than those by drought. In summer, the southern China experienced the most severe flood with extreme heavy rainstorm since 1998. Regional and periodic drought brought slight impacts and losses. The reversal of season from spring to summer was earlier than normal. High temperature occurred earlier than normal with extreme intensities, and lasted longer than normal in summer over the south of China. The numbers of landing typhoons were less than normal, while the periods and regions impacted by typhoons were concentrated. The cold air process influenced widely and brought huge decrease of temperature in local areas.
