Recent model consensus from global forecasting systems points to Shanghai's overnight minimum on May 19 settling between 19°C and 21°C, reflecting mild southerly flow and moderate cloud cover that reduces radiative cooling. Mid-May climatology shows average lows near 16–18°C, yet a weakening subtropical high and limited cold-air advection have kept surface temperatures slightly elevated in the latest runs. Forecasters note typical diurnal ranges of 5–8°C under these spring conditions, with any increase in low-level moisture or wind speed able to nudge the minimum up or down by 1–2°C. Updated guidance from the China Meteorological Administration and ECMWF ensemble members expected over the next 48 hours will clarify whether the outcome leans toward the current market favorite near 19°C.
