Why is the weather and temperature in Zhengzhou so high?
Storm cities are the name given to large Chinese cities with extremely hot summer weather, generally concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin in southern China.
The Three Great Furnaces refers to Chongqing, Wuhan, and Nanjing in southern China during the Republic of China, which were relatively well-known cities along the Yangtze River. The summer temperatures were relatively hot, and they were said to be known as the "Three Great Furnaces."
The Four Great Furnaces: Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Changsha in the Yangtze River Basin in southern China have hot summer climates and long-lasting high temperatures and hot weather. They are said to be the "Four Great Furnaces."
Seven Furnaces: Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing, Changsha, Hangzhou, Nanchang, and Shanghai in the latitude area of the Yangtze River in the south have hot summer climates and densely populated provincial capital cities, which are said to be called the "Seven Furnaces". Distribution source: The term "stove city" comes from the folk and has no statistical basis for temperature. In recent years, with the exception of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, many southern cities in the Yangtze River latitude region of southern China have experienced prominent high temperature phenomena, with hot and humid weather lasting for a long time.
In addition, northern cities in the Yellow River latitude region such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, and Xi'an in North China have also recently experienced high temperatures that are rare in history. The frequent occurrence of these extreme weather conditions and the expansion of high-temperature areas have caused people to pay attention to the environment and reflect on the impact of human activities on the natural world.
Song Yingjie’s basis is his ranking list of the top ten major cities in the country with the highest number of hot days in the past 10 years (2000-2009). The total number of high-temperature days (temperatures exceeding 35°C) in these cities in the past 10 years has exceeded 200, and five of these cities have experienced more than 300 days. Fuzhou, a city in Fujian, ranked first with 375 high-temperature days in 10 years, followed by Hangzhou (355 high-temperature days), Chongqing (343 high-temperature days), and Changsha (326 high-temperature days). Wuhan had 305 hot days in 10 years, an average of 30.5 per year, ranking fifth. The cities ranked sixth to tenth on the list are Haikou, Nanchang, Guangzhou, Xi'an, and Nanning respectively. Traditionally, Wuhan has been included in the list of the four "hot pot" cities; although the other three cities on the list have different opinions, Wuhan can never escape its reputation as a "hot pot" city. But according to this statistical data released by Song Yingjie, Wuhan was removed from the "Four Furnaces". Most of the ten cities on the list are located in the Yangtze River Basin and south of southern China, with Xi'an being the only exception.
It is surprising that Xi'an, the ancient capital located in the northwest, has entered this list. This is related to its geographical location in the Guanzhong Basin in western China. In summer, the sultry air is surrounded by mountains and has difficulty in convection
