The high -temperature heat wave incident has reached the strongest duration since 1961 will continue to be extended

Cover news reporter Teng Yan

On August 17, the cover reporter learned from the National Climate Center that according to the recent monitoring and evaluation, the average intensity, impact scope and duration of the high temperature heat wave incident have been comprehensively considered. In 1961, there was the strongest meteorological observation record.

At the same time, comprehensive research and judgment, the duration of the regional high -temperature heat wave event will continue to be extended, and the comprehensive intensity will be further enhanced.

Recently, Chen Lijuan, chief forecaster of the National Climate Center, said in an interview with the cover news, "This high temperature and heat may appear more frequently in the future." In the context of climate change, the high temperature heat wave event may become a high temperature heat wave event may become a high -temperature heat wave event. "New normal".

National high temperature daily distribution map

It is worth noting that the regional high -temperature heat wave event has the characteristics of long duration, wide range, strong strength, and strong extremes. As of August 15, it has lasted for sixty -four days, the longest time since 1961 (more than 62 days in 2013).

Since the summer (June 1st to August 15th), the average number of high temperatures in the country is 12.0 days, which is 5.1 days more than the same period of the year. It is the same period since the complete meteorological observation records in 1961. Southern North China, Most of East China, Central China, eastern South China, northeast of the southwest and most high temperature days in Xinjiang, western Inner Mongolia and other places are generally more than 20 days. Southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, central and northern Fujian, most of Jiangxi, most Hunan, eastern Sichuan, Chongqing and other places for more than 30 days.

Since the summer, the high temperature daily days of Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Zhejiang, Hubei, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, and Shaanxi have been the largest in history since 1961. The 6 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) of Gan Ning and Shanghai, Hunan and Luna, Xianglun, are more than 2nd in history. Chongqing is more than 3rd.

A total of 914 national meteorological stations (37.7%of the number of nationwide total stations) in the country reached the highest temperature of extreme high temperature events. The temperature is flat or breaks through the historical pole, of which Zhushan (44.6 ° C) in Hubei, Chongqing Beiyi (44.5 ° C), Fengjie (44.4 ° C), Wuxi (44.0 ° C), Hebei Lingshou (44.2 ° C), Tancheng (44.1 ° C) , Zhengding (44.0 ° C), Yunnan Yanjin (44.0 ° C) has a maximum temperature of 44 ° C or above.

The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that from the 17th to 19th, the high temperature in the south will continue, especially the highest temperature in Sichuan and Chongqing will continue to exceed 40 ° C, becoming a national high temperature center. The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue high -temperature red warnings on the morning of the 17th.

In addition, in the next 10 days (August 17-26), there will still be continuous high temperature weather in Sichuan Basin, Jianghan, Jianghuai, Jiangnan and other places, with cumulative high temperature days of 7-10 days; the highest temperature in the above areas can reach 35-38 ℃, the local area can exceed 40 ℃. Comprehensive research and judgment, the duration of the regional high -temperature heat wave event will continue to be extended, and the intensity will be further enhanced.
