Core Viewpoint - The National Climate Center of China has issued a climate trend forecast for January 2026, highlighting potential adverse impacts from low temperatures and precipitation, particularly in specific regions of the country [1][2]. Group 1: Temperature Trends - In January 2026, regions such as northeastern Inner Mongolia, most of Northeast China, southeastern East China, southeastern South China, southern Southwest China, and western Xinjiang are expected to experience temperatures lower than the historical average by 1-2°C [1]. - Conversely, areas like northwestern Sichuan, southern Gansu, southern Qinghai, and northeastern Tibet may see temperatures 1-2°C higher than the historical average [1]. Group 2: Precipitation Trends - Precipitation is predicted to be above the historical average in northeastern regions, eastern Inner Mongolia, northwestern central China, southeastern Northwest China, northeastern Southwest China, and western Xinjiang, with some areas experiencing increases of 20-50% [1]. - Other regions, including central and southern Jiangsu, Shanghai, central southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, eastern Hubei, eastern Hunan, northern Guangdong, northeastern Guangxi, and central western Tibet, may see precipitation 20-50% below the historical average [2]. Group 3: Key Areas of Concern - Attention is required for the adverse effects of low temperatures and rain/snow, particularly in northeastern regions, eastern Inner Mongolia, and western Xinjiang, where risks of meteorological disasters such as low temperatures, strong winds, snow disasters, and ice storms are present [1]. - There is a need for proactive measures in agriculture and livestock sectors to prepare for cold weather, as well as contingency plans for transportation, energy, and power sectors [1]. - The potential for meteorological drought is a concern in central East China and southern central China due to significantly reduced precipitation, necessitating monitoring and management of water resources [2]. - Adverse atmospheric diffusion conditions are expected in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Fenwei Plain, which may lead to low visibility and impact production, daily life, and transportation [2].
