"Sina Visitor System" 【气温】今天南方有297个国家级气象站出现35℃以上高温。其中云南巧家41.2℃、海南澄迈40.9℃、云南元阳40.3℃，3个站点超40℃。今天广东郁南、广西苍梧、贵州三穗、湖南冷水滩、洞口、浙江温州、瑞安，共7个站点气温打破5月最高纪录。今天贵阳、成都温江、昆明、广州，4个省会城市气温创今年新高。昆明为今年首次上30℃。 未来低空的冷空气逐渐南下，南方的高温闷热天气会逐渐缩减。但在冷空气到来前，明天福州、南宁、海口还有高温。而且这轮高温消退以后，5月底-6月初，南方的高温可能还会发展。此外，临近月底，北方地区在高空槽东移后，有个暖脊东移，导致北方多地气温也有明显上升。石家庄报30日有35℃，有可能拿下当地今年首个高温。 而哈尔滨报31日35℃，这个待定存疑。要看后期暖脊的强度、冷空气的移动速度。如果冷空气来的晚一些，白天锋前增温明显，上30℃是稳的。如果冷空气东移速度快，31日白天哈尔滨就出现阴雨，气温将比目前预报大幅调低。总之，变数较大。关注临近报修订。 (in Simplified Chinese). weatherman_信欣 on Weibo.
