The NMC forecast issued at 20:00 on September 20 gives cloud and 33°C/24°C for September 21, with continued cloud and a possible 35°C high on September 25. Schedule outdoor heritage and rural travel early.
Today and the weekly trend
The official outlook gives cloud, 33°C/24°C and light wind for September 21. Highs are around 32–34°C from September 22 to 24 and may reach 35°C on September 25. Cloud does not prevent afternoon heat on stone lanes, plazas and exposed queues.
This is the 20:00 September 20 forecast. Continue checking nowcasts, lightning and heat warnings, plus mountain-road conditions for Fuliang, Yaoli and Gaoling.
Put outdoor days first
Use cooler mornings for Taoyangli, Hutian or a short old-city walk and move into a confirmed museum or studio in the afternoon. If Friday's warming remains, shorten exposed routes further.
September 21 is Monday, when venue schedules may differ from normal. Verify reservations, closure and last entry separately and keep a workshop, market or old-street alternative.
Transport and artworks in heat
Hydrate, use sun protection and reduce continuous walking. Children, seniors and vulnerable travelers need rest every 60–90 minutes. Stop after dizziness, nausea or unusual fatigue and move to a cool place.
Do not leave greenware, glaze or cartons in a hot vehicle. Pickup must follow current traffic management; live weather and venue notices take priority over this article.
