Traders see the highest temperature in Chongqing on August 1 clustering around 37–38°C because current medium-range forecasts from agencies like the China Meteorological Administration indicate persistent subtropical high pressure and weak steering winds that favor typical midsummer heat without strong cooling from monsoon rains or cold fronts. Chongqing’s basin topography and high humidity amplify daytime maxima, with historical August peaks frequently reaching 35–40°C; recent late-July observations near 36–38°C and model consensus showing only modest day-to-day variability keep 36–39°C outcomes dominant while assigning lower odds to 40°C-plus extremes that would require an unexpected intensification or clearer skies. Updated model runs over the next 48 hours will refine these probabilities ahead of resolution.
