It was the year with the lowest rainfall in the same period since the data was recorded. At the same time, large-scale and persistent high-temperature weather has occurred in the province, the inflow of rivers has been continuously reduced, and the water storage of water conservancy projects has been insufficient, which has caused a great impact on agricultural production.

  Henan Climate Center issued a drought orange early warning at 10:30 on June 6, 2020: According to the meteorological drought monitoring, as of June 6th, 60% of the counties and cities in the province have reached severe drought and above, of which 33% Of the counties and cities reached the level of extra drought.

The Inner Mongolia Meteorological Bureau said on the 5th that the drought area in the autonomous region exceeded 40%, of which the drought in the pastoral areas was severe. 

  In addition, due to the eastward movement of the continental warm high pressure, continuous high temperature weather has also appeared in northern Anhui. Due to the recent precipitation and evaporation of the north of the Yangtze River, drought conditions have occurred in most areas, severe droughts have occurred in some areas, and some have reached special-level drought conditions.

  High temperature has also caused air pollution problems. According to the 2019 China Eco-Environmental Status Bulletin, China's ozone pollution problems have gradually emerged in recent years. Ozone has become the primary pollutant affecting summer air quality.

  The Ministry of Ecology and Environment's official microblog released news on the 7th that from June 8th to 10th, due to the high temperature weather, there will be a moderate to moderate ozone pollution process in central and southern China, and some cities may experience heavy pollution.
