This paper analyzed the anomalous low-temperature events and the anomalous rain-abundant events in January since 1951 and winter since 1880 for southern China. The AA. aim to analyse the atmospheric circulation features associated with the anomalous
events, especially to focus on the circulation conditions when there exist anomalous low-temperature and rain-abundant events simultaneously. It is showed that there is more precipitation in southern China during El Niño winters, and less precipitation
during La Niña winters; and there is no clear evidence that the occurrence of anomalous temperature events in winter over southern China is closely linked to ENSO events.
