The high temperature in the southern region has the characteristics of long duration, extensive influence, and significant extremes. At the same time, the precipitation of most parts of the south is less than the same period of the same year. Continuously high temperature and rain led to the rapid development of drought in the south. Severe summer drought occurred in the Yangtze River Basin. In some areas, the masses had difficulty drinking water and the decline in soil. It had adversely affected the growth and development of autumn grain and autumn crops and economic crops. Since July, the drought has caused 38.305 million provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) including Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, and other 21 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities). 4.3 million people needed to live for their lives due to drought.

At the end of August, due to the influence of rainfall and cold air, extreme high temperatures in the south gradually faded, and the local drought relief.

2. The national rainfall is "north and south", flood disasters are "northern south light", and mountain flood disasters in Sichuan, Qinghai and other places are frequently reached
