The daily maximum/minimum temperature data at 740 stations in China from 1960 to 2005 were analyzed to reveal the statistical characteristics of record-breaking (RB) daily extreme temperature events in the past 46 years. The results indicate that the change amplitudes of future extreme temperatures differ evidently from place to place, showing a remarkable regional feature: future extreme high temperature events will be in a stronger rising period of intensity in Southwest China, and in a relatively weaker rising period in western China; while the largest decreasing amplitude of future extreme low temperature events will appear in Northeast China and the north of Northwest China, and its intensity will be in a relatively stable period in central China and Southwest China.
