Netizens suspect weather reports are hiding 40°C temperatures #网友怀疑气象部门刻意不报40度#
Whenever extreme heat hits, some people say, “It feels way hotter than the forecast.” Some even wonder if weather reports are intentionally lowering the numbers.
According to Zhu Dingzhen, a senior expert with the China Meteorological Administration: “Forecasters definitely don’t report higher or lower temperatures on purpose. In fact, we score forecasters based on their accuracy. For example, if someone forecasts 38°C but the actual temperature reaches over 40°C, they get no points. That’s why forecasters always aim to be as accurate as possible.”
So why does it feel hotter than reported? Official temperatures come from thermometers placed in a Stevenson screen (a special white box) set up on grass, 1.5 meters above the ground, in an open area without tall buildings or trees blocking wind or sunlight. This is a global standard set by the World Meteorological Organization.
But on sunny days, temperatures at 1.5 meters above asphalt or concrete can be 4–5°C higher than what’s recorded in the Stevenson screen. That’s why some people measure 50°C on the road while the forecast says less.
Zhu explained: “The weather station environment and the outdoor environments where people actually feel the heat are different. The official temperature measures the air near the ground. What everyone feels is the body temperature, which is affected by multiple factors such as air pressure, wind speed, and humidity.”
For example, high humidity makes it feel much hotter. When the air temperature reaches about 33°C with 80% humidity, people can feel extremely stuffy and uncomfortable, even risking heatstroke.
Individual factors also play a role. Body type, clothing color and thickness, activity level, and even mood can all affect how hot someone feels.
