Why is Chongqing called a "stove"?

July 20 17, the National Climate Center of China Meteorological Bureau released the list, which for the first time released the hot cities in China to the public authority by comprehensively analyzing the meteorological data of provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The comprehensive analysis results show that the top 10 provincial capitals or municipalities in summer are: Chongqing, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, Wuhan, Xi 'an, Nanjing, Hefei and Wuhan. Among them, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Hangzhou and Nanchang, which ranked in the forefront, were named "the new four stoves" by many netizens, and Wuhan withdrew from the top four and ranked sixth.

Extended data

How to make the standard of furnace city, people adopt different indicators: some use extreme maximum temperature, some use high temperature weather days, and so on. In addition, the time of using data is also different: some use meteorological data in recent 10 years, and some use data in recent 20 years. A study shows that 49.6℃ was observed in Turpan Basin of China on July 1975+03, which is the extreme highest temperature recorded in China.

In fact, in June and July this year, Chongqing was relatively cool, while other places were already very hot. But in August, Chongqing began to get sunny and hot. In August, there are more sunny days and less rain. In addition, there are two rivers embracing each other, and the air humidity is high. It feels much hotter in sauna days.

According to the data obtained by the reporter from the Municipal Climate Center, from the data of Chongqing in the past 30 years, July and August are almost the hottest, and mid-August is the hottest. In August, the average daily temperature in the whole city was 27.3℃, and that in the main city was 28.3℃.

Regarding the title of the stove, the staff of the Municipal Meteorological Bureau revealed that every region has extreme high temperature, even higher than Chongqing, but Chongqing has received great attention, which invisibly magnifies the influence of high temperature.
