The plum rains intensity of the down and middle streams of Yangtze river area can be divided in to 4 states: that is powerful plum rains year, less powerful plum rains year, less weak plum rains year and weak plum rains year based on the plum rains intensity index analysis of 46 year's. The weighted Markov chain is used to analyze and predict the following year's plum rains state, and the conclusions are correct. The specific, accurate, reliable, easy method provides the new way to predict the plum rains intensity of subtropics ocean humid areas.
