Where is the temperature mentioned in the weather forecast? Is it the surface temperature?

The temperature of gas in the atmosphere is the temperature, which is a common term in meteorology. It is directly affected by solar radiation: the more solar radiation, the higher the temperature. China is expressed in degrees Celsius (℃). The ground temperature mentioned by the meteorological department refers to the temperature in the louver at a height of about1.5m.

Difference between temperature, rain and surface temperature

The temperature reported in the weather forecast is the air temperature. After the heat energy of the sun is absorbed by the ground, the ground transfers the heat to the air through radiation, conduction and convection, which is the main source of heat in the air. The part of solar radiation directly absorbed by the atmosphere has little effect on heating air, and can only increase the temperature by 0.0 15 ~ 0.02℃. It is also for this reason that under normal circumstances, the surface temperature will be higher than the air temperature.
