Continuing on with theme of hot cities, let's do the three furnaces of China! The three furnaces are a nickname for three Chinese cities that are perceived as especially hot and humid in the summer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_FurnacesWhich furnace would you rather be burned in? Chongqing Wuhan Nanjing I will go with Nanjing, it's the least furnacelike out of the three of them. And it has the best (least bad) weather, marginally beating Wuhan. |

I prefer Wuhan since it has the coolest record highs in summer and also the coldest record lows in winter. Also it has the best precipitation out of the three.
Its summer averages are only marginally warmer than Nanjing.

Nanjing for being the coolest. Also I know it’s been said before but China has had an unbelievable summer this year, especially in Chongqing!

Chongqing for having the mildest winters and “driest” summers of the bunch.

Strange that these are singled out. Summers seem pretty similar all over the SE quadrant of China. Nanjing it is nonetheless, less hot.

The three furnaces term was created in the early 1900s before climate data was compiled. These three cities were well-known and had very hot summers. The real three furnaces seem to be Fuzhou, Hangzhou, and Chongqing |

Nanjing is slightly cooler in summer than Wuhan, so it wins. Chongqing is noticeably worse for the awful sunshine totals.

The heat seemed worse (longer-lasting) in Chongqing than in Wuhan and Nanjing this summer, but the latter two arguably had consistently higher wet-bulb temperatures. Windy has a wet bulb temperature mode now (as of late August 2022), which I've always wanted to see on the app.
