Abstract

By analyzing the data of long-term monthly mean relative humidity of from January 1958 to December 2007 in China, it was found that the relative humidity in North Xinjiang is higher in winter while lower in summer. There was a belt humidity distribution pattern of northeast-southwest resulted from the sea-continent distribution and the precipitation of monsoon climate, especially in summer. The westerly is a factor that effects the belt pattern distribution of humidity due to the precipitation brought by it.
