Beijing, January 29 (Xinhua) — Last year in China saw higher precipitation and higher temperatures than the previous average, according to the "China Climate Bulletin 2025," released Thursday by the National Climate Center (NCC).
According to the document, the average annual temperature in the country reached 10.9 degrees Celsius, which is on par with the same figure for 2024, which was the warmest year on record. The number of hot days last year also reached a record high.
"In 2025, China clearly exhibited warm and humid climate patterns," said Huang Zhuo, deputy head of the National Center for Environmental Monitoring and Control (NCC), at a press conference.
The average national precipitation for the reporting period exceeded previous years by 4.5 percent, making 2025 a "wet year." Notably, rainfall during the rainy season in Northern China reached a new historical high in both volume and duration.
Warm and humid climatic conditions were favorable for vegetation during the growing season. The average national vegetation index during the growing season reached its highest level since the beginning of this century, with steady growth in vegetation cover observed in the western regions of Northeast China and in the central and eastern parts of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the north.
Although climatic conditions were generally favorable for major grain crops during their growing season, the effects of meteorological disasters such as heat waves, drought, heavy rains and floods had a significant impact on some regions, Huang Zhuo noted.
The year 2025 is also characterized by frequent extreme weather events. Between September and October, a total of five typhoons made landfall in southern China. Furthermore, the number of days with gusty winds reached the highest level since 1991, and spring sand and dust storms were more frequent than usual.
According to the bulletin, severe weather conditions and significant climate anomalies in China in 2025 resulted from the synergistic interaction of various atmospheric and oceanic factors on different time scales. -0-
