China is the most populous country in the world, and it has diverse climates due its vastness. Climate change has a significant impact on China and its population. In this study, annual precipitation and temperatures over a forty year period were analyzed to identify climate trends in China. All five selected cities show a warming trend in temperature in line with a similar trend of the global temperature anomalies. Additionally, precipitation data indicate decreased trends in the eastern and northern regions and increased precipitation in the eastern and southern coastal regions. The relationship between annual temperature and precipitation will be further studied and presented as well.
