Reasons for the hot weather in Chongqing

A large part of the reason is caused by geographical location. The latitude range of Chongqing determines that it is in a subtropical monsoon humid climate. Aside from the word "awkward mouth", it means that the summer in Chongqing is higher.

At the same time, Chongqing is located in the east of Sichuan Basin, with low altitude and naturally higher temperature. Moreover, Chongqing is mountainous, which hinders the circulation and diffusion of air. These warm air gather together to keep the temperature rising.

Although there are many rivers in Chongqing, these rivers cannot change the reality of high temperature. On the contrary, the evaporation of river water increases the air humidity. At the same temperature, the higher the humidity, the hotter the human body will feel.

At the same time, because Chongqing is still a traditional heavy industrial city, a large number of industrial production and emissions will also have an impact on the urban temperature. Although Chongqing has moved many industries outside the main city, its previous influence has not decreased.
