Recent forecasts from models like those referenced by timeanddate and AccuWeather place Shanghai’s August 7 maximum near 34–35°C amid persistent subtropical high pressure, high humidity exceeding 70%, and scattered afternoon convection that could limit peak heating. Trader consensus clusters tightly on 33–34°C because ensemble guidance shows only modest day-to-day variability in 850 hPa temperatures and boundary-layer moisture, with any earlier or stronger thunderstorm activity potentially capping the high at 33°C while clearer conditions allow a brief 35°C spike. Historical August climatology supports this narrow range, as daily maxima average 31–33°C but frequently reach 34–36°C when the ridge strengthens without widespread rain. Updated model runs and official Shanghai Meteorological Service briefings expected in the next 24–48 hours will likely refine the precise outcome before resolution.
