The NMC forecast issued at 20:00 on September 17 gives Jingdezhen 34°C/22°C and cloud on September 18, with similar weekend highs. Use early and late hours for heritage and villages and keep afternoons indoors.
Today and the weekend
The NMC page shows cloud, 34°C/22°C and light wind for September 18, with highs near 34°C through September 19–20. Cloud does not make stone lanes, plazas or kiln sites cool in the afternoon.
Forecasts update. Before Yaoli, Lifang, Gaoling or other rural travel, recheck nowcasts, lightning and road notices rather than relying only on the downtown outlook.
Divide the day by heat
Use early morning for Taoyangli, Hutian or a short street walk; stay in a confirmed museum, exhibition or air-conditioned studio from roughly 11:00 to 16:00; reconsider Taoxichuan and evening streets after temperatures ease.
Children, seniors and long outdoor visits need water and rest every 60–90 minutes. Stop immediately and move to shade after dizziness, nausea or unusual fatigue.
Ceramics and vehicles
Do not leave finished work, glaze material or cardboard cartons in a hot vehicle. Confirm air-conditioning, shaded pickup and a cancellable rural alternative with a private-car provider.
