Chengdu, Sichuan, Enters Spring 18 Days Early Amid Record Warmth
2026-02-25 10:47:45 by AIOS
Chengdu has officially entered spring, 18 days earlier than the long-term average. On February 24, the sun shone brightly, and a rare phenomenon—"seeing the moon in daylight under the sun"—was observed. By 4:00 p.m. that day, the highest temperature in Chengdu reached 25.5°C, recorded in the Eastern New District.

What's the weather like where you are
Meteorological data indicate that Chengdu entered meteorological spring on February 13. Average temperatures in the coming period will remain steadily above 10°C, with occasional cold air intrusions exerting limited impact. This year's spring onset ranks as the fourth earliest since 2000, attributed to the unusually warm winter of 2025, which lasted only 88 days—six days shorter than normal.

Warm conditions have persisted since the start of spring. From February 16 to 22, there was no precipitation, and the average temperature was 12.2°C, 3.7°C above normal. On February 21 and 22, daily maximum temperatures in ten districts (cities and counties) broke historical records.

Despite the arrival of spring, weather remains highly variable. The average temperature for March is forecast to be 13.5°C, 0.9°C above normal, with monthly highs potentially reaching 28°C. Total precipitation is expected to be 35 millimeters, about 30% higher than usual. A significant temperature drop and possible late-spring cold snap in late March warrant caution. Residents are advised to keep warm clothing handy and practice "spring layering" to guard against sudden chills.

Weather outlook for Sichuan over the next three days: detailed forecasts for the night of the 25th through the day of the 26th, and the night of the 26th through the day of the 27th, are omitted.
