The cumulative anomaly analysis, the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), the Bernaola Galvan heuristic segmentation algorithm (BGSA), the Le Page test, the moving t test at different sub-series scales, and the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) were used to demonstrate the statistical characteristics of the temperature changes in the study area from 1960 to 2015. The results were as follows: the temperatures varied obviously among subregions and seasons and they generally increased; the climate tendency rates of autumn mean temperatures were higher than those of summer and spring; additionally, the temperatures in the three subregions of the Three Rivers’
Headstream Region (THRHR) were relatively low in the 1960s, especially in the early 1960s, followed by those in the 1970s, and the annual mean temperature has been increasing since the mid-late 1980s, especially in the middle 1990s. The results of EEMD showed that the QPOs of the annual mean temperature series in the study area were mainly quasi-3 years, quasi-5–8 years, quasi-12–15 years, and quasi-35–38 years. The results of the annual mean temperature series mutational sites showed that a signifcant warming mutation began in approximately 1997; and the mutational sites of seasonal mean temperature series in the three subregions of the THRHR all began in the middle and late 1990s. The prediction result of the temperature series trend based on multiple methods showed that the warming persistence of annual and seasonal mean temperature series would be stronger, and their seasonal and regional differences were obvious.
