Judging from the weather conditions in Hainan's production areas, recent rainfall has been frequent, and the cooling weather in the production area has been obvious. The Hainan Province Meteorological Observatory predicts that due to the influence of cold air and Typhoon "Jalawa", there will be cooling rainfall and strong winds on the sea in Hainan Province from December 18 to 24. From the 18th to the 22nd, there will be light rain and cloudy days across the island, and temperatures in various places will continue to drop. On the 22nd, the lowest temperature in inland areas can drop to 10 - 13℃. From the 23rd to the 24th, the island will be cloudy and cloudy. The lowest temperature in coastal areas is 11~14℃, and in inland areas such as Lingao, Ding 'an, Chengmai, Tunchang, Danzhou, Baisha, Qiongzhong, Wuzhishan and Ledong, among which Qiongzhong and Wuzhishan mountainous areas can drop to 6~8℃. Affected by this, personnel in some production areas expressed their expectation that some areas will gradually enter a state of suspension of cutting this week.

2.  Review of the start and stop of cutting in Hainan production areas in previous years

year

Start and stop cutting

normal seasonal

Cutting: early April
Stop cutting: mid-to-late December

in 2019

Cutting: Cutting is started sporadically in April, and quantity is increased at the end of May
Cutting stop: cutting stop at the end of December

in 2020

Cutting: Cutting will be started one after another in May
Cutting suspension: The production reduction was significantly reduced at the end of December, and cutting was stopped in early January

in 2021

Cutting: Cutting starts at the end of March and early April, and increases significantly in late April
Cutting stop: cutting stop in late January

the 2022

Cutting: Full cutting will be started at the end of June, and volume will be increased in mid-to-late July
Cutting suspension: Cutting suspension entered mid-December and basically stopped at the end of the month

in 2023

Cutting: Cutting begins at the end of March and early April, and starting to increase in early June
Cut stop: The cut stop period is expected to enter around December 20

Opening time: It is understood that the phenological conditions in Hainan production areas are relatively normal during the Spring Festival and the Chinese New Year period. The leaf shedding conditions of rubber trees are relatively good. The yellow leaf conditions in Baisha and other areas are relatively clear, and no serious pests and diseases have occurred. This year, Hainan production areas started in a few areas in the southeast at the end of March. Trial cutting began. In early April, the central and western regions began to enter the state of rubber tapping, and the cutting began in May one after another. Last year, the cutting began sporadically in early May, and most areas only began to start in early June and gradually increase the amount. This year's cutting time basically conforms to the normal seasonal cutting time.

The cutting stop time is relatively normal: According to the Hainan Province Meteorological Bureau, rainfall and cold air are coming simultaneously in Hainan production areas due to the impact of typhoons. It is expected that Hainan Province will experience strong cooling and strong sea winds this week. In the short term, under the influence of rainfall, sporadic rubber farmers have begun to stop cutting rubber to protect rubber trees. As of today, a few regions have indicated that the low temperature at night in Hainan's production areas has dropped below 15℃. Affected by this, some personnel in the production areas have expressed that they expect that some regions will gradually enter a state of stopping cutting this week, which is relatively normal compared with the normal seasonal rubber tapping season., slightly earlier.
