By using methods of linear regression, inverse distance weighted spatial interpolation,Z index and Morlet wavelet transform, the characteristics of precipitation,drought intensity and the trend of drought were analyzed based on temperature and rainfall data from 1961 to 2011 collected from 12 meteorological sites in west Qinling of China. Results showed as follows: temperature presented an increasing trend over the last 51 years in west Qinling, the temperature tendency rate was 0. 26 ℃ / (10 a),precipitation presented a decreasing trend, the precipitation tendency rate was 16. 04 mm/(10 a),climate warming-drying trend was apparent. The trend of Z index showed a downward trend, the decreasing trend was consistent with the precipitation; the drought-flood had a 5 years and 7 years periodic oscillation, it was extremely prone to drought, the drought trend was obvious. The characteristics of regional response to global climate change was drought increased in west Qinling.
