Abstract
The paper discusses climatic features of tropical and sub-tropical provinces of China. Warmth and abundant rainfall allow for intensive agricultural development. However, the region does suffer weather situations that are devastating to crops. A number of these, such as drought, flooding, typhoons, cold waves and hail are discussed, and their climatology presented. The definitions are given of drought, flood-waterlogging, cold-wave and cold-dews wind as these are used in China. The latter phenomenon is a fall season condition with low temperature and either dry and windy, or cloudy and drizzly which is very destructive of late season rice. Information on the occurrences of these adverse situations are presented together with their distribution in South China.
