2016 Tibet Summer Climate Report issued newly by the Tibet Autonomous Region Climate Center indicates Tibet is intensifying warm and wet.

According to the report, most regions throughout Tibet experienced higher than average temperatures, rainfall that was normal or above average and less sunshine.

Several sites got the highest record of monthly total precipitationin the same historical period; areas along the Yarlung Tsangpo river and southeastern areas of Tibet experienced hail, flooding, landslides and disasters by lightning strikes. 

The report indicates that, between 1981 and 2016 average temperatures in Tibet gradually went up, and increased by 0.28 degrees celsiuson average every ten years. The precipitation trended to increase by 8.3 millimeterson average every ten years. The sunshine duration decreased on average by 13.1 hours every decade.   

The Tibet Autonomous Region Climate Center says that these values all indicate the reasons for becoming warm and wet and its pushing hands, global warming. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is also becoming one of the typical places effected by global warming.

In the past it rained in Lhasa during the night and was sunny during the day, yet nowadays, day after day it is drizzled with steady rains. In past, people wore thick clothing to pass the summer yet now they are wearing underpants and shorts. 

High latitudes and altitudes are more easily affected by elements of global warming, express experts. Climate change in Tibet, in the short run, makes it more suitable for people  to live, and it is also beneficial for the agricultural industry, however it can bring about degeneration of glaciers, the melting of permafrost and various other bad effects.
