Using daily precipitation and temperature of 86 meteorological observation stations in Guangdong from 1961 to 2017,along with meteorological drought index data DI,the objective and quantitative assessment methods for annual climate status in Guangdong were established,with comprehensive consideration of the four aspects of rain-waterlogging,low temperature,drought and high temperature.The annual climate status in Guangdong was objectively and quantitatively assessed,and actual disaster situations were used to verify the evaluation results.The results show that the trend of the annual climate status index of the rain-waterlogging and drought in Guangdong has not changed significantly over the past 57 years;however,the annual climate status index of low temperature decreased dramatically,while the annual climate status index of high temperature increased substantially.The annual climate status index of the rain waterlogging in Guangdong decreased at a rate of 0.06/10 a over the past 57 years,but the trend was not obvious.The evaluation results of the annual climate status were consistent with the disaster situation.The evaluation results reveal that there were five poor climate years,namely 1963,1969,1993,2001 and 2008.The research results provide a technical basis for the objective and quantitative climate assessment business and decision-making services performed in Guangdong.
