摘要 With the ongoing development of the apple industry in the Longdong region of Gansu, this sector has emerged as a key driver for the government's initiatives aimed at increasing stable income for local residents and promoting rural revitalization. The Longdong region boasts a favorable geographical location and a suitable climatic environment, making it an ideal area for apple cultivation. This paper analyzes meteorological data from the national meteorological observatory in Longdong over the past forty years, focusing on average temperature, precipitation, sunshine duration, and relative humidity during three critical growth periods of apples. The research reveals significant differences in the distribution of meteorological conditions across these key growth stages. Notably, the average temperature is higher in the central and northern parts of the region, while lower temperatures are observed in the southwestern areas. The average daily maximum temperature tends to be higher in the northwest and lower in the central and southwestern regions. Conversely, the average daily minimum temperature demonstrates a distinct pattern, being higher in the south and lower in the north. Additionally, precipitation is more abundant in the southeast and less so in the northwest. Sunshine hours are greater in the northern and central regions, while the southwestern and northeastern areas receive fewer hours of sunlight. Finally, relative humidity is higher in the south and lower in the north.
