Abstract: To carry out meteorological services for tea tree in growing season by using climatic data, the authors studied the indexes of meteorological factors, utilized climatic data in Changqing from 1981 to 2010, and analyzed the distribution characteristics of heat, moisture and light conditions and the common meteorological disasters, discussed the favorable and unfavorable climatic factors and their influence on the growth and development of tea plants. Results showed that: the annual average temperature basically met the needs of tea plant growth; the temperature difference between winter and summer was obvious, which influenced the production cycle and the growth of tea plant; freeze injury from January to April had certain influence on germination of tea bud and yield of spring tea; monthly mean precipitation change in Changqing was significant, precipitation from May to September basically met the demand of tea growth; precipitation in winter and spring (December to April) was less, combined with dry air, was not conducive to the improvement of tea yield; light could meet the requirements for tea growth, but sunshine percentage was more than 45% from June to September, which was the growing season of tea, and tea quality were affected. Accurately understanding the local climatic conditions can provide meteorological basis and scientific guidance for the construction and development of modern agriculture.
