Abstract: In order to understand the impact of high temperature and drought on tea, and carry out better services for tea production. Based on the meteorological observation data such as daily average temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation, rain day, sunshine, average relative humidity and so on from nine meteorological stations during July-August in 2013 in Lishui, compared to perennial observation data, the development of high temperature, drought and their impact to tea production were analyzed. The results showed that: high temperature during July to August in summer was long duration, high intensity and wide distribution precipitation and rain days were significantly less than normal especially in July (the most significant); strong sunshine and poor soil moisture were concentrated in late July to mid-August. There were obvious north-south differences in spatial distribution: higher temperatures, less precipitation, heavier drought in the northern part of Lishui, and lower max temperature and lower drought in Qingyuan located in the southern. The count of heat damage days on tea in Lishui was the most, and also the strongest intensity (there were 3 times to achieve a high heat damage on tea), followed Jinyun, Yunhe and Songyang. The impact of high temperature and drought on tea in Songyang was the greatest, caused the most serious losses.
