State of China's climate in 2018
In 2018, the mean temperature in China was 0.54°C above normal, and the annual rainfall was 7% above normal. More typhoons made landfall with severe damage. Low-temperature freezing and snow disasters occurred frequently with extensive losses. In summer, rainstorms occurred frequently with relativel...
