The highest in the province. Among the 12 national weather stations in the province, 59 have daily maximum temperatures exceeding 4°C, with the highest temperature reaching 42.°C at Linzhou Weather Station. Wugang and Shangcheng stations broke through the highest temperature extremes for the same period in June since the establishment of the station. The maximum surface temperature at 92 stations in the province exceeded 6°C, and the maximum surface temperature at 8 stations exceeded 7°C; the surface temperature at Xixia Station reached 74.1°C, the highest in the province.

The cause of this high-temperature weather is mainly affected by warm and low pressure on the ground, resulting in mostly sunny, hot and dry weather in most of Henan. In addition, due to the influence of solar shortwave radiation during the day, the weather is dry, which is conducive to the gradual rise of ground temperature.
