Why is it so hot in Shanghai this year?

Subtropical high.

According to official website, Shanghai Meteorological Bureau, the subtropical high was extremely strong in 2023, which led to the continuous high temperature in Shanghai. Subtropical high is a high-pressure system, which exists in the northern hemisphere in summer, and the control area is often hot and rainy. The influence of subtropical high in 2023 is more significant than that in 2022, so the temperature in Shanghai is higher.
