Persistent rainy conditions and model spread in the Huaxi region are keeping trader odds nearly even between cooler and warmer extremes for Chongqing’s September 23 minimum. Official guidance points to mostly cloudy skies with widespread showers, high humidity near 85–95 percent, and light variable winds that typically limit nocturnal radiational cooling and produce lows in the 19–22 °C range. Recent forecasts show slight differences in the timing of any clearing or the strength of northerly flow, which could allow either modest additional cooling or slightly warmer readings if clouds break earlier than expected. New model runs and updated guidance from the China Meteorological Administration over the next 48 hours remain the key variables that could shift the closely matched probabilities.
