Official Jinan Meteorological Bureau forecasts issued August 22 project a highest temperature of around 32°C for August 24 amid overcast conditions with thunderstorms and locally heavy rain, consistent with regional model runs showing highs of 31–34°C. Persistent summer warmth under a subtropical high-pressure influence, combined with limited nocturnal cooling and southeasterly flow, supports afternoon maxima well above seasonal averages despite convective activity. Multiple international and domestic sources converge on similar values near 32°C, keeping the 26°C-or-higher outcome dominant in trader positioning while underscoring forecast uncertainty from potential storm timing or intensity variations that could modestly alter peak readings.
