Trader sentiment for Chongqing's highest temperature on March 22 remains tightly clustered around 19–23°C, driven primarily by divergent short-range forecasts from global models like ECMWF and GFS, with the former favoring cooler 19–20°C outcomes amid a lingering cold air mass from the north, while GFS hints at 22–23°C under partial clearing skies. Historical March highs in Chongqing average 17–21°C per China Meteorological Administration data, but urban heat island effects and southerly winds introduce variability; recent 12Z model updates show ensemble means converging near 20°C, narrowing the spread as surface observations confirm mild overnight lows around 14°C, heightening uncertainty until final NWP runs resolve frontal timing.
