increased 2.6% as compared with the previous month

Explanation:
环比: as compared with the previous/preceding (month, week, period, etc.)
Given the context of the CPI inflation, I suggest using "as compared with the previous month." Of course you should know which time frame is being used in the comparison in your actual context.

Explanation:
回答这个问题，我先自学了一把。搞清了环比的意思（我一直以为环比是城市的1环2环等这些区域间的环呢）

环比发展速度是报告期水平与前一时期水平之比，表明现象逐期的发展速度。如计算一年内各月与前一个月对比，即2月比1月，3月比2月，4月比3月 ……12月比11月，说明逐月的发展程度。如分析抗击"非典"期间某些经济现象的发展趋势，环比比同比更说明问题。

the seasonally adjusted rate of increase is 2.6%

Explanation:
we may need a statiscian to solve this problem.
i can only tell that 环比 rate is calculated based on:
an average / weighted-average / adjusted average price of the current period
and
an average / weighted-average / adjusted average price of the former period

and 同比 rate:
the price on one day (usually the last day) of the current period
and
the price on one day (usually the last day) of the previous period

in both the cases, the period may be: 1-day, 1-month, 1-quarter, 1-year

and as to my answer...
seasonally adjusted (SA) rate and non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) rate are used by the States to espress THEIR two different rates of increase of the CPI index.

I believe the US and China don't use exactly the same method in calculating "an average / weighted-average / adjusted average price of a certain period", but i think the name should be the same.

maybe a statiscian can provide a better term for 环比. let's wait...

--------------------------------------------------

here "seasonally" does not mean in a season... or a period
it means specifically a measure to eliminate the flucturality between the different months during the year... because in months with festivals and vacations the prices are slightly higher and this factor should be ruled out in the 环比 rate through various calculation methods.
that is the ESSENSE in the 环比 rate.
for monthly 环比 rate:
1-month seasonally adjusted rate of increase
