Abstract: Based on meteorological data in Hami City from 1981 to 2020, developmental period data of Hami melon from 1999 to 2020, and historical disaster data from 1961 to 2020, the meteorological conditions and main meteorological disasters of mid-maturing Hami melon (Cucumis melo var. saccharinus) growth in Hami City, Xinjiang Province were analyzed. The results showed that the main meteorological factors affecting the growth of Hami melon included the average temperature, average maximum temperature and (or) average minimum temperature in sowing stage, seedling stage and vine extension stage, daily temperature range, average relative humidity and precipitation in fruit setting stage, and sunshine hours in mature stage. The optimum temperature at seedling stage was 18~25 ℃, the conditions that the daily maximum temperature was higher than 35 ℃ or the daily minimum temperature was equal to or lower than 13 ℃ had adverse effects on seedling growth. The optimum temperature at fruit expansion stage was 25~30 ℃. High temperature and continuous precipitation would affect the yield and quality of Hami melon in fruit setting stage to maturity stage. The frost and gale disasters in spring in Hami City were mainly mild from 1999 to 2020.

Key words: Hami melon(Cucumis melo var. saccharinus), growth and development, meteorological condition, meteorological disaster
