The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) reported that this June was one of the hottest on record. The national average temperature reached 21.1°C, 0.9°C higher than usual. This tied with 2022 as the warmest June since 1961.
Most parts of China experienced higher-than-normal temperatures by late June. Areas like the southern part of North China, the Huanghuai region, and Xinjiang saw temperatures 2–4°C above average. Xinjiang’s average of 25°C was its highest in more than 60 years, while Sichuan and Shandong had their second-hottest Junes ever. Additionally, 102 weather stations broke daily heat records, with 17 places hitting over 40°C.
While June brought heat, it also saw more rain. The country had an average of 85.8mm of rainfall, 3.4% more than the usual amount. The Yangtze River region even had 50% to double the normal rain, causing floods. The Huaihe River upstream in Huaiji saw a once-in-100-year flood in mid-June.
Looking ahead, heavy rains will move north in the next 10 days, with 30–70% more rain than usual. A major storm is expected from July 2–4, bringing thunderstorms. The CMA warns about floods, landslides (滑坡), and urban flooding. Southern China will still face high temperatures (35–39°C, over 40°C in some areas). People are advised to drink more water and prevent heat-related illnesses. In July, 2 to 3 typhoons may hit China, mainly in East and South China. One strong typhoon might even move north. The government urges preparing emergency plans to protect lives and property.
