Recent forecasts from the China Meteorological Administration and international models indicate a Saturday high in Beijing likely between 31–33°C, driven by typical late-summer conditions with southeasterly flow, high humidity near 70–90%, and scattered thunderstorms expected to increase cloud cover and limit solar heating. These convective elements introduce the main uncertainty separating the closely matched 32°C and 33°C outcomes, as heavier or earlier rain could cap the peak near 31°C while clearer intervals might allow brief warming to 34°C. Official station observations at the end of the day will resolve the market, with any last-minute model runs potentially shifting sentiment before resolution.
