Abstract: The paper aims to study current climate change in Jilin. Using the data of average temperature, average highest and lowest air temperature, and the annual and monthly precipitation from 20 meteorological stations from 1961 to 2013, the variation characteristics of temperature and precipitation in Jilin were analyzed by linear analysis, moving average, Mann-Kendall mutation test and spatial interpolation. The results showed that: in recent 53 years, the annual temperature change of Jilin was between 3.25 to 6.63℃, there was a significant upward trend, and the tendency rate was 0.286℃/10 a and mutated in 1986; winter warming was most obvious in seasonal temperature change; the temperature of Jilin was greatly influenced by altitude, the plain area of the midwest, Dunhua and Jingyu had the most obvious average temperature warming; annual precipitation change was between 489.28 to 825.26 mm, slightly increased on the whole, the tendency rate was 0.5 mm/10 a, mutated in 1987; the seasonal precipitation changed gently, mainly showed a tendency difference of increase in spring and winter and decrease in summer and autumn; annual precipitation decreased more obviously in the northwest and Changbai Mountain region of Jilin, while the annual precipitation in Songhua River basin showed an obviously increasing trend. In general, the climate in Jilin showed a warming and drying tendency.
