Dr. Xu Xiaofeng said this year China suffered multiple natural disasters and was seriously damaged. BCC’s prediction of the past climate was basically consistent with the observation. However, since the short-term climate prediction is still a worldwide problem, we should fully realize the importance and hardship of our services in flood season this year and constantly strengthen our monitoring and prediction. He hoped that the experts would carefully analyze and fully discuss to accurately hold the climate trend of midsummer 2008, to do good jobs in flood season, for the Olympic Games and for the post-earthquake reconstruction areas.
