According to statistics, as of 9:30 on the 4th, the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory issued a total of five different types of thunder and lightning, heavy rain, hail, strong wind, and high temperature within 24 hours. weather warning. At present, the orange warning for high temperatures is high, so everyone should try to avoid going out during high-temperature periods.

Many netizens lamented that "the weather in Shanghai has been too unstable recently, with bright sunshine in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon."
Meteorological experts explained that for the Yangtze River Delta region, including Shanghai, the appearance of plum blossoms often means that the rain belt moves northward and the subtropical high pressure "takes power". The subtropical high pressure is also called the "high temperature messenger". It is a wave of Warm air masses that often exist but are not fixed in location are active high-pressure ridges in the subtropical regions. Within its control range, hot weather with dry conditions and little rain often occurs. Therefore, for Shanghai, plum blossoms usually occur in midsummer, and high temperatures are prone to occur.
The Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that in the next week, Shanghai will experience continuous high temperature weather. Sunny and hot weather will become the "keyword" of the weather, and the extreme maximum temperature can reach 37℃~38℃. At the same time, the thermal power is strong and afternoon thundershowers are likely to occur.
