Chinanews, Urumqi, November 29 – There are two large deserts in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous1 Region: the Taklimakan Desert and the Gurbantunggut Desert, on the south and north sides of the Tianshan Mountain respectively. With global warming and the plantation2 project going on in Xinjiang, the climate in both deserts have become more humid.

 

According to local meteorological administration, the central part of the Taklimakan Desert had 33 rainy days this year, a new high. Relative humidity in the desert has been 4% higher than the figure in 1998, and the windy days have been 13 days fewer.
