Beijing, August 4 /Xinhua/ — In August, China is expected to experience 2 to 3 typhoons that will make landfall or have a noticeable impact. This forecast was made by Jia Xiaolong, Deputy Head of the National Climate Center, on Tuesday.
This indicator roughly corresponds to the historical average for this month, which is 2.3, but the overall intensity of typhoons is expected to be above normal, Jia Xiaolong added at the press conference.
Furthermore, according to his forecasts, in August the temperature will be above average over most of the country’s territory, with four distinct heat periods expected.
As for the amount of precipitation, it is expected to exceed the usual levels in the northeastern, northern, eastern, central, southern, southwestern regions of China, as well as in the Tibet Autonomous Region and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Six significant rainy periods are also forecast for August, added Jia Xiaolun.
He warned that against the backdrop of a strong or super-strong El Niño event in August in China, heavy rains, extremely high air temperatures, and typhoons are likely to occur more frequently than usual. -0-
