The inter-annual and inter-decadal periodic change and abrupt change characteristics of Qiqihar's temperature variation were analyzed by means of the Morlet wavelet transforming method and the month-to-month mean temperature anomaly data from 1991 to 2002, and the main regularities of temperature variation were discussed. It is found that there were inter-annual periodic variations of quasi-biennial, 4 to 6 years, and 8 years, and inter-decadal periodic variations of 40 to 60 years, as well as abrupt changes, in Qiqihar in recent 100 years; the temperature variation in Qiqihar was the composite result of multi-scale periodic fluctuations. The conclusions can be used as references in short-term climate forecasting in Qiqihar.
