Climate changes seriously affect people's daily life, extreme climate events continue to occur throughout the world during 1961-2008. This research 1961-2008 by 51 meteorological stations in Xinjiang, the precipitation and temperature data, show that rising temperatures continue to increase 0.08 degrees Celsius per year and precipitation continues to increase for the 0.71 mm per year in Xinjiang. Climate models were used PRECIS to simulate how the regional climate might change during the present century. The climate of Xinjiang was found to be likely to be even more problematic in the years 2080s than it is at present.
