Ensemble forecasts from global models like ECMWF and GFS project Chongqing's highest temperature on April 16 at around 24°C, with a tight spread of 23-26°C reflecting trader consensus amid morning rain likely suppressing early heating before partial afternoon clearing allows greater insolation. Recent heavy rains on April 10 and observed highs of 22-24°C over April 14-15 have cooled the Chongqing basin, but stabilizing southerly flows and urban heat island effects could push toward 25-26°C if clouds break sufficiently. Differentiating factors include model divergences on boundary layer mixing and cloud persistence, with historical mid-April averages near 24°C adding context.
