Based on temperature data from Urban (51573 station) and suburban areas (51572 station) in Turpan City from 1974 to 2013, the change characteristics of annual mean temperature, annual mean maximum temperature and annual mean minimum temperature were analyzed by using the methods of linear regression and accumulative anomaly on heat-island effect the suburb in Turpan city nearly 40 a. The main results showed: The intensity of heat-island has had gradually increasing in Turpan nearly 40 a, the impact of the heat-island effect on the average minimum temperature is fastest. The annual average temperature is in second place, and average maximum temperature is the slowest. These three key factors of the city compared with the suburbs increased respectively in 1.7˚C, 1.074˚C and 0.18˚C, and they had mutation in1998, 2000 and 2006 respectively from cold island-effect to heat-island effect.
