The main climatic functions of Ailao Mountain lie in: weak cold air is blocked by mountain body in winter, strong cold air has become the end of strong crossing after overturning the mountain body; the southwest warm and humid air flow is blocked by mountain body when it enters eastward, forming more precipitation in the West and south of Ailao Mountain than in the east, the temperature is higher than that in the east of the same latitude and elevation, and the winter cold wave enters. The number of times of invasion is also less than that of the East. Because of the large difference of mountain height, the climate distribution is obvious vertically. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the climate is subtropical, middle subtropical, North subtropical, warm temperate, temperate and cold temperate. The unique mountain climate makes the vegetation have an obvious vertical distribution. The vertical distribution of the southwest slope begins from the Amu River valley: 1 100-1 800 meters above sea level is the Pu'er pine forest and monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest belt, 1 800-2 200 meters is the Yunnan pine forest and semi-humid evergreen broad-leaved forest belt, 2 200-2 800 meters is the middle mountain wet evergreen broad-leaved forest belt, and 2 800 meters above the mountain top evergreen broad-leaved dwarf forest and shrub belt. The vertical series of vegetation on the northeast slope starts from the Yuanjiang River valley: 500-1000 meters above sea level is the Dry-hot Valley vegetation belt, 1000-2400 meters is the Yunnan pine forest and semi-humid evergreen broad-leaved forest belt, 2300-2900 meters is the middle mountain wet evergreen broad-leaved forest, and more than 2900 meters is the mountain top evergreen broad-leaved dwarf forest and shrub belt.
