From October 20 to 22, by the banks of Shanghai's Huangpu River, the 2026 Sustainable Global Leaders Conference will return once again. Nobel Prize and Turing Award winners will take the stage to discuss the future and trends of technology, and the internet-famous professor who "rescues" people from anxiety and the era of involution — Macfarlane — will hold a live dialogue with Xiang Biao!

The good news is that a weak cold front has reached Guangdong. The bad news is that it "cannot defeat" the subtropical high and has obediently taken a detour... For the coming period, the subtropical high in the south will still "unseasonably" strengthen, and high temperatures in Guangdong will continue to develop. Guangzhou may see its latest high-temperature day on record. Guangdong's dry and sunny weather will remain firmly in place. According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, under the influence of the subtropical high, temperatures in the south will continue to run high. Maximum temperatures south of the Yangtze River will mostly be 30℃ or above, and a large area of South China will see maximum temperatures around 33℃, with high temperatures still appearing in some places. The warmth in some areas is rare for this time of year. In particular, on the 18th and 19th, the subtropical high will strengthen out of season, and high temperatures in Guangdong will continue to develop. Guangzhou may encounter high temperatures again, and if that happens, it will be Guangzhou's latest high temperature on record. The weak cold front in the north "cannot defeat" the subtropical high, so it has no choice but to obediently detour eastward, but the good news is that it will bring some rainfall. The Guangdong Meteorological Observatory forecasts that on the 14th, most of the province will maintain sunny to partly cloudy weather with large temperature differences between day and night; from the 15th to 16th, affected by easterly to southeasterly airflows, cloud cover will increase across most of the province, some cities and counties in the west will have light rain, and maximum temperatures will decline slightly.
Specific weather forecast: On the 14th, southern coastal cities and counties, western Pearl River Delta, Shaoguan, and Qingyuan will be sunny to partly cloudy, while the rest of the province will be sunny with some clouds. Morning minimum temperatures: 20~23℃ in northern Guangdong cities and counties, and 23~26℃ in other cities and counties; daytime maximum temperatures in most areas will be 32~35℃. On the 15th, western Guangdong cities and counties will be partly cloudy to overcast with scattered light rain, while the rest of the province will be partly cloudy. Morning minimum temperatures: 21~23℃ in northern Guangdong cities and counties, and 24~26℃ in other cities and counties; daytime maximum temperatures in most areas will be 29~33℃. On the 16th, western Guangdong and western Pearl River Delta cities and counties will be partly cloudy to overcast with light rain, while the rest of the province will be partly cloudy with localized light rain. Morning minimum temperatures: 24~26℃ in southern coastal cities and counties, and 21~24℃ in other cities and counties; daytime maximum temperatures in most areas will be 29~33℃.
Guangzhou's extreme minimum winter temperature is 1.5℃~4.5℃. Recently, the National Climate Center announced that a super El Niño event officially formed in September this year, of the eastern Pacific type, meaning the warm sea surface center is located in the eastern equatorial Pacific. Meteorological authorities estimate that in the winter of 2026 (December 2026 to February 2027, same below), Guangzhou's temperature will be 14.5℃~16.0℃, 0.1℃~0.5℃ higher than the same period of the past 30 years; in the spring of 2027 (March to May 2027, same below), Guangzhou's temperature will be 22.0℃~24.0℃, 0.1℃~1.0℃ higher than the same period of the past 30 years. Guangzhou's extreme minimum winter temperature will be 1.5℃~4.5℃, slightly lower than the same period of the past 30 years, and the possibility of a strong cold wave is relatively high. It is worth noting that during the previous super El Niño event (October 2014 to April 2016), Guangzhou experienced a large-scale graupel weather phenomenon on January 24, 2016, with snowflakes floating in urban areas for the first time since the founding of New China. On October 12, Wang Juanhuai, chief decision-making service expert at the Guangdong Climate Center, introduced the impact of this super El Niño event on Guangdong. Wang Juanhuai pointed out that in the standard sense, what fell in Guangzhou that time was actually graupel, not snow. Against the backdrop of global warming, the entire winter is warmer than usual. Coupled with the impact of this year's super El Niño event, if warm and humid water vapor is plentiful and it perfectly matches with cold air from the north, Guangzhou could of course also see the graupel phenomenon of 2016.
