The relationship between onset date of cold (warm) waves and later season temperature anomaly is studied by using 1954—2006 daily mean temperature time serial data from the regional average values of 5 weather stations of Tonghua city and season average temperature data from Tonghua weather station(41°41′N，125°54′E). Evidence suggests that season temperature anomaly in spring and summer have obvious affiliation with onset dates of cold(warm) waves in last winter. It has been found that cold(warm) waves breaking out in certain date are corresponding to high(or low) season temperature. There were obvious relationship between some cold(warm) wave onset dates and extreme season temperature anomalies at late period. The relationship displayed periodicity, the cold wave dates that associated with low spring temperature anomaly show 5 d interval, the warm wave dates that associated with low spring temperature anomaly show 9-11 d interval that prolongs or shortens regularly. Some onset dates of cold(warm) waves in last winter have obvious affiliation with summer low temperature and cold damage in northeast China.
