Beijing, January 4 (Xinhua) — The past year, 2025, was the warmest in China since meteorological records began in 1961, with an average temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, the China Meteorological Administration reported on Sunday.
According to Shi Shuai, a senior engineer at the National Climate Center's subordinate department, this figure was 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than the typical national average annual temperature of 9.9 degrees Celsius. He noted that last year, temperatures in 16 provincial-level regions, including the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, as well as Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, reached their highest level since 1961.
From June to August, the average temperature nationwide was 22.3 degrees Celsius, which is also 1.1 degrees higher than the usual seasonal norm, and thus, last year's summer was the warmest since 1961, along with the summer of 2024, Shi Shuai said.
The meteorologist added that last year Beijing saw the highest amount of rainfall since 1961. The duration of the rainy season and the total amount of precipitation during this period in northern China also reached historical highs.
Speaking about the forecast for the current month, Shi Shuai warned that northern regions of China should prepare for possible negative impacts of low temperatures, snowfalls and freezing rain, while southern parts of the country need to take measures in advance against the effects of meteorological drought.
