Why is it hotter in summer in Beijing than in the south? It's 34 degrees now.

Beijing is located in the inland area, with a temperate continental climate and high temperature and dryness in summer. However, there is much rain in the south, and the cooling effect is obvious.

Beijing is densely populated, with obvious urban heat island effect and slow heat dissipation. In the south, the temperature is relatively low.

In summer, although Beijing has a high latitude, it has long sunshine hours and more heat. Although the latitude is low in the south, the sunshine time is slightly shorter and the temperature is relatively low.

Beijing is located on land, with relatively few rivers and rapid land warming. There are many rivers and lakes in the south, which absorb heat slowly and dissipate heat quickly, and it is relatively cold.
