There was both severe flooding and drought, with overall precipitation the lowest since 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts from the centre also looked ahead, predicting that the climate situation in China will be \u201crelatively poor\u201d in 2023. Extreme weather is likely to occur frequently and be severe, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the central and eastern regions, the probability of extreme high temperature events such as that experienced in summer 2013 may rise to 50% by 2035. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the country as a whole, the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation will increase, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The probability of compound extreme events \u2013\u00a0occurring simultaneously or consecutively \u2013\u00a0will continue to increase. Affected by climate change, the possibility of \u201clow-probability, high-impact\u201d events will also increase, Jia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the press conference, the National Climate Centre made regional suggestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The south should be alert to more high temperatures in summer and ensure power supply during peak consumption (when air conditioners run full tilt). Coastal areas should focus on strengthening typhoon defences. The north should take precautions against heavy rains and floods. While the west should reduce the risk of \u201cgeological disasters\u201d caused by heavy rainfall, probably referring to mudslides and landslides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIndividuals are not only contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, but also victims of the increasing extreme weather and climate events,\u201d said Jia, adding that it is necessary to encourage individuals to switch to green consumption patterns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jia also highlighted the importance of raising public awareness on disaster risk reduction and climate change response. \u201cEveryone should understand the meaning of the weather disaster warning information issued by the government, what countermeasures should be taken, and the location of nearby shelters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Read China Dialogue\u2019s recent <\/em><a
