The high temperature in Turpan, Xinjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is really "untouchable". As August is about to enter, the high temperature in Zhejiang will increase.

is not the hottest, only hotter. According to the latest weather news in Zhejiang, extremely hot weather will continue in Zhejiang in the next seven days. Extreme high temperatures will occur in parts of central and northern Zhejiang.

Among them, the high temperature intensity is strong from August 2 to 7, especially from August 2 to 5, most of the highest temperatures can reach 40 to 42°C.

For example, Hangzhou is currently forecast to experience continuous hits of 40°C starting from August 2, with the lowest temperature remaining around 30°C, and the sweltering heat is all-weather.

Some citizens even reported temperatures approaching 42~43°C from August 4th to 6th.

If it comes to fruition, it will be a record-breaking heat. The current record for the highest temperature in Hangzhou’s history in August is 41.8℃.

Many friends have asked me in the past two days: Will this year be as hot as 2013, 2017, and 2022?

Judging from the average temperature, the average temperature at Hangzhou Station since July this year (July 1st to 30th) has reached 31.8℃, while the average temperature in July 2017 and 2022 is both 31.6℃ (The first was 32.3℃ in 2013). The average temperature in July this year will exceed that of 2017 and 2022, ranking second in history.

Judging from the extreme high temperatures above 40°C, both the intensity and number of high temperatures in July this year were weaker than those in 2013 and 2017.

Therefore, in the first half of this summer vacation, the popularity of Hangzhou can be regarded as "on the list", but it has not yet "beyond the limit".

August will enter tomorrow. The hottest period in 2013 and 2022 will be in August. August this year will also be a hot start. It is expected that in the coming week, we will continue to be firmly controlled by the subtropical high pressure, with continued sunny and hot weather, with only local scattered thundershowers in the afternoon.

At the same time, as the subtropical high intensifies, the temperature will further rise in the next few days, and Hangzhou has the conditions to hit a high temperature of 40℃. Not only will the maximum temperature rise to 38~40℃, with some parts above 40℃, but even the minimum temperature will be around 30℃. This protracted battle of heatstroke prevention and cooling requires everyone to have more patience and perseverance!
