Is this the hottest year since the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Sorry, I'm not sure whether this year is the hottest year since the founding of the People's Republic of China, because it depends on many complicated factors, including global climate change, temperature change, extreme weather events and so on. The changes of these factors are dynamic and may be different from year to year.

However, according to the data of the National Climate Center of China, some extreme hot weather in history did occur this summer. For example, on July 14, the highest temperature at Xujiahui Station in Shanghai reached 40.9℃, setting a local record since June 1873. In addition, this summer, Xi, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Chongqing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Zhengzhou, Jinan and other cities also experienced record-breaking high temperature weather.

However, to determine whether this year is the hottest year in history, more data and scientific analysis are needed. At the same time, we should also note that climate change is a long-term process, and the weather conditions may change greatly every year. Therefore, we should continue to pay attention to the trend of climate change and take appropriate measures to deal with the impact of climate change.
