Is the temperature in Wuhan over 40 degrees?

Some temperatures in Wuhan are above 40 degrees. On August 20, 2022, the sunny and hot weather in Wuhan continued, and the highest temperature could reach above 40℃. The annual average temperature in Wuhan is 15.8℃- 17.5℃, and the extreme maximum temperature is 4 1.3℃.

Wuhan has a subtropical monsoon (humid) climate, which is characterized by abundant annual rainfall, sufficient heat, rain and heat in the same season, light and heat in the same season, and Leng Xia is hot in winter with four distinct seasons. Annual sunshine hours 18 10 hour -2 100 hour, annual total radiation 104 kcal/cm2-13 kcal/cm2, annual precipitation1cm2.

Wuhan is one of the four furnaces, and the temperature will keep hitting new highs when summer comes. The main reason is that the high altitude in summer is controlled by the subtropical high zone. There is also the influence of topography. Chongqing, Wuhan and Nanjing are all located in the Yangtze River valley with low altitude. The topography of the valley is like the bottom of a pot, surrounded by mountains, and the ground is difficult to dissipate heat, which makes the temperature rise continuously.

These places are densely covered with rice fields, with a lot of water vapor and high humidity, which makes it difficult for people to evaporate after sweating. Sweating and heat dissipation efficiency is greatly reduced, and high temperature and humidity make people feel sultry.
