Many people say that Guangzhou is the hottest city in Guangdong province, but every time I look at the weather forecast, I find that Shaoguan is the hottest city in the province, not Guangzhou.

According to the actual weather observation, Guangzhou is not the hottest city in Guangdong Province in summer. In summer, the temperature in Shaoguan is indeed higher than that in Guangzhou, and it is the largest city with the highest temperature in summer in Guangdong Province. But in terms of average temperature, Guangzhou (annual average temperature 2 1.9 degrees) is significantly higher than Shaoguan.

The reason is:

1. From the location point of view, Shaoguan is a city in the mainland of Guangdong, far from the ocean and obviously influenced by the mainland. The temperature is high in summer and low in winter. Guangzhou is in the Pearl River Delta, close to the sea.

2. Topographically, Shaoguan is located in a relatively low-lying position, surrounded by mountains, and it is difficult for hot air to dissipate in summer, and it is just on the channel where cold air passes through Nanling Mountains in winter; Guangzhou, located in the Pearl River Delta, has a flat terrain, where hot air is relatively easy to dissipate in summer and heats up quickly in winter.
