Current forecasts from agencies like the China Meteorological Administration point to a peak temperature in Chengdu on August 25 near 33–35°C, with model runs showing variability from afternoon cloud cover, scattered showers, and high humidity typical of the East Asian monsoon. These conditions suppress surface heating compared to clearer days, while light winds and a subtropical high-pressure influence could allow brief spikes toward 36–37°C if insolation increases. Trader consensus clusters tightly around 35–37°C because recent August analogs, including the 32°C reading on August 21, reflect modest day-to-day shifts driven by precipitation timing and boundary-layer moisture rather than large-scale warming trends. Updated model guidance and official station observations from Shuangliu Airport will likely resolve remaining uncertainty before market close.
