CCTV News: Autumn grain production accounts for more than three-quarters of the total annual grain production, making it the largest producer of grain. The autumn harvest and planting in China are mainly concentrated from mid September to mid to late October each year, including the harvest of grain and cotton crops such as corn, one season rice, soybeans, potatoes, and cotton, the field management and harvest of double season late rice, and the sowing of overwintering crops such as winter wheat and rapeseed. During this period, suitable hydrothermal conditions are the key to yield formation and smooth autumn sowing. So, will the weather this autumn be favorable for autumn grain production and sowing? Take a look at expert analysis.
This autumn, the temperature in most parts of the country is relatively high, and the overall water and heat conditions are conducive to the full filling of autumn harvest crops and the development of autumn harvest and planting. The National Climate Center predicts that the precipitation in most parts of Northeast China, western and southern parts of Southwest China, southern parts of Northwest China, and most parts of Xinjiang is higher than usual; There are significant differences in the spatial distribution of precipitation during the autumn rain season in western China. Among them, the autumn rain in the northern region of western China is relatively less than usual, while the autumn rain in the southern region is close to or more than usual. Some areas may experience continuous cloudy and rainy weather, which may affect the development of autumn harvest and planting work.

Qian Yonglan, Chief Forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory: From the perspective of Northeast China, the initial frost in the Northeast region is normal or relatively late this year. In some areas, especially in the northeast of Northeast China, there will be 1-3 days of early frost. The risk of southern cold dew winds is also relatively low. From the perspective of precipitation, autumn may have more rainfall in the northeast and southwest regions, such as northern Sichuan and southern Yunnan. Therefore, as autumn grain in Northeast China has entered a critical period, some areas, especially in the north, should take measures to promote early ripening.
Agricultural meteorological disasters pose significant risks to autumn grain production. The meteorological department will strengthen monitoring, forecasting, and early warning, and promptly jointly issue agricultural meteorological disaster risk warnings with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to safeguard food security.
