Is it really hot in summer in Chongqing?

Yes, it's very hot. Geographical reasons

Chongqing is controlled by subtropical high in summer, with clear weather, relatively closed terrain and difficult heat dissipation. Chengdu, on the other hand, is generally on the edge of the subtropical high, with a lot of clouds and precipitation. It was hot this summer because the subtropical high moved westward. Chongqing has the Yangtze River and Jialing River.

High air humidity

Moreover, the air in mountainous areas is not easy to flow.

Thereby forming hot and sultry weather.

In addition, due to the high population density in the main urban area of Chongqing.

It is easy to form the urban heat island effect.

Urban reasons

1. Chongqing is located at the edge of Sichuan basin, but it is generally located in the "steamer";

2. Chongqing's air is dirty, the circulation is not smooth, and there is basically no wind convection, which is easy to accumulate hot air and cannot be dispersed;

3. Chongqing has a large population density and does not pay attention to environmental protection. Every day, a large amount of garbage that pollutes the environment is directly discharged into the air, soil and rivers;

4. The whole city of Chongqing is full of high-rise buildings, especially the intensive reinforced concrete on the tongue of the peninsula, which further forms the "heat island" effect of the whole city. If 1000 air conditioners are installed in each building, it is believed that the heat generated and energy consumed in Chongqing will be even worse in the future.
