Climate characteristics of Xinshao County:

(1) Four distinct seasons, short spring and autumn, long winter and summer.

(2) There was heavy rain in April, May and June, and high temperature and drought in July and August.

(3) There are abundant light and hot water resources, but disasters such as drought, flood and low temperature are frequent, and disasters such as strong wind, hail, freezing and lightning strike are not uncommon.

(4) The terrain is complex, resulting in obvious geographical differences in temperature, precipitation and illumination. The temperature in the north and south is high because of the low altitude, and the temperature in the middle is low because of the high altitude. Precipitation varies greatly from year to season, and the difference is more significant because of different topography and altitude. According to the records of 12 rainfall points in Xinshao County, the heavy rain, rainstorm, rainy day, snowy day and annual precipitation in Tanxi, Hongxi, Dahetan and Pingping are obviously more than those in other places, and the rainstorm in Tanxi is the most. The maximum annual precipitation was 2351 mm in 1994. The maximum monthly precipitation was 547mm in June, 1995, which accounted for 36% of that year's precipitation. The maximum daily precipitation reached 225.5 mm on May 22nd, 1998, accounting for 13% of the annual precipitation. Rizhao, the southern slope of the mountain range is .5~2. hours more than the northern slope every day.

(5) In recent 2 years, there has been a trend of warmer weather in winter, which is manifested in freezing and severe cold periods (average daily temperature ≤.℃ and continuous ≥5 days). From 196s to 198s, there were many freezing weather in winter, and in 1984 it was frozen for as many as 1 days. The freezing weather has obviously decreased since the 199s, and only two days of freezing occurred in the 13 years from 1993 to 25 (outside the alpine mountain area).
