  8. ↑ "Sina Visitor System" 【气温——13日以后有变化】今天南北气温依然有巨大差异。南方多地出现高温，江西湖南重庆四川站点包揽高温榜前十。重庆綦江、巴南、四川开江、丹巴打破10月最高气温纪录，重庆天城和涪陵追平昨天刚创的10月最高纪录。但在华北，阴雨+冷空气，天气冷得罕见。今天石家庄最高气温只有10℃，打破当地10月上旬最高气温的最低纪录。而且今天均温不到10℃，迎来立秋后首个冬日。此外兰州12.8℃、银川11.5℃、西宁9.5℃、济南14.9℃、郑州14℃均创立秋后新低。未来2天，西北地区东部和华北黄淮，因为冷空气+阴雨，气温继续偏低。13日降雨减少后，气温偏低的情况会明显好转，北京天津石家庄西安兰州银川，13日最高气温都将重返20℃以上。济南郑州13日还有阴雨，14日雨停后也会回到20℃以上。南方未来2天的晴热高温依然不少。杭州南昌均报出未来3天连续高温。福州报出连续4天。长沙重庆明天也可能有高温。12-13日因为有冷空气从偏西区域南下，重庆和长沙高温可能就此结束。而偏东的江西浙江福建部分地区，还残余一些高温。从形势预报看，13-14日有弱冷空气渗透南下，1015百帕线可以推进到武夷山-南岭。而在贝加尔湖附近，后期有横槽发展，导致大量冷空气在西伯利亚一带堆积。在10月中旬后期，冷空气可能大举南下，南方的暑热将被一扫而空。但是横槽何时能转竖，也就是开闸放水，这个在中期预报时段上，难以给出准确的判定。因此冷空气南下的具体时间，可能早一些也可以晚一些。但这股强冷空气没跑，关注临近报的修订。总之13-15日气温是量变，18-21日可能是质变。 (in Simplified Chinese). weatherman_信欣 on Weibo.
