Why is Lijiang hotter than Jinghong?

No, it can be seen from the weather forecast that Jinghong is usually hotter than Lijiang. Take today as an example: Lijiang 16℃, Jinghong 24℃. You think the heat may be that the air in Lijiang is dry and the air in Jinghong is humid.

Let me tell you again that the temperature difference is mainly due to different latitudes and different climatic zones (topography, environment, etc.).

Lijiang belongs to the southwest monsoon climate of low latitude plateau type, with abundant sunshine and great temperature changes.

Jinghong City is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, and belongs to the humid monsoon climate in the north subtropical zone.

Summer weather in Lijiang (June-August): the temperature is about 10℃-26℃, which is rainy and cool in the morning and evening. During the day, the outdoor sunshine is direct and hot, and the indoor is cool.

Lijiang belongs to the monsoon climate of low latitude plateau, with abundant sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays. The annual temperature difference in Lijiang is small, and the temperature difference in the morning and evening of a single day is large. The lowest temperature in Old Town of Lijiang is about 0℃ in winter and the highest temperature in summer is about 26℃.

Although the summer temperature in Jinghong is high (sometimes up to 40℃+), the southwest monsoon from the equatorial ocean and the southeast monsoon from the tropical ocean are full of water vapor, and the valleys along the river move from south to north, and when they meet the terrain with high north and low south, they condense into rain and suppress the high temperature.
