China weather China has very extreme weather. In summer there is unbearable hot. In winter there is bitter cold. China almost never has a break with extreme weather. If you want to visit China you should be aware of the weather.

China has very bad natural disasters. China can have tornadoes and very bad earthquakes. One tornado in China killed 19 people, 130 injured and at least 10 missing. One earthquake in china had a magnitude of 8.0 and killed 830,000 people in **Shaanxi. **

**China can have extreme hot and cold. Chinas hottest temperature recorded was 116 degrees F in March, 15, 2008. The coldest temperature in china recorded was -35 degrees F in October, 30, 2010. China never had a hurricane. **

**China has 2 seasons’ summer and winter. That’s because it’s too hot or too cold to be fall of spring. Unlike America where we have summer, winter, fall, and spring. **

**As you can see china has extreme weather. But most people are use to the cold and hot in China. In the future I think China will continue to have extreme weather. **

In summer, a southeast monsoon from the western Pacific Ocean and a southwest monsoon from the equatorial Indian Ocean blow onto the Chinese mainland. These monsoons are the main cause of rainfall. Starting in April and May, the summer rainy season monsoons hit the southern provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. In June, the rains blow northward, and South China gets more rainfall with the poetic name, plum-rain weather, since this is the moment when plums mellow. North China greets its rainy season in July and August, says farewell in September; gradually in October the summer monsoons retreat from Chinese land. Eastern China experiences many climate changes, while the northwest area is a non-monsoon region. ||

Some people belive that China can control when the skies are clear of rainy. This happens because people will launch a big bullet to make it rain or stop raining. ||

 * __** Weather manipulation **__ China has long tinkered with Mother Nature's waterworks, even establishing a state organ -- the Beijing Weather Modification Office -- whose sole purpose is to meddle with the weather. The purpose behind weather modification is less megalomaniacal than it sounds at first pass; a large swath of northeast China, including Beijing, has been mired in a drought for nearly a decade, and the party leadership would like to reverse that trend for both practical reasons and to show the Chinese people exactly who is in charge.  ||

The weather machine is a giant machine that will launch giant bullets into the sky. China also has a machine that can make earthquakes happen. China mainly uses it for the skies to be clear when its raining or snowing. Sometimes China will use the weather machine for it to start raining but china cant make it snow only rain ||

Weather balloons carry all sorts of gear aloft in order to measure the atmospheric pressure, the temperature and the humidity all the data is then sent back to the weather center.  ||
