Why is Nanchang so hot?

There are three main reasons for the hot weather in Nanchang: topography, humidity and heat island effect. Nanchang, Chongqing, Wuhan and Nanjing are called the "four furnaces". Nanchang is the most sultry and windless city among the four big stove cities.

Why is Nanchang so hot?

Topographic reasons: Nanchang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Jinggangshan in the west, Wuyishan in the east and Nanling in the south. The cool monsoon can't get in, and the hot air in summer can't dissipate for a long time.

Humidity: Because there is no wind in Nanchang, the hot air can't disperse, and the moisture can't volatilize, which will stick to the human body, making people feel extremely hot in summer.

Causes of urban heat island effect: with the acceleration of urbanization in Nanchang, there are more and more buildings, and the overall surface temperature of the city also rises.
