    昨天的气温再创今年以来的新高。在弱高压脊的控制下，昨天早晨起我市天空的云层逐渐散去，完全变成了阳光的舞台，湛蓝的天空飘着的朵朵白云根本挡不住猛烈的阳光。我市的气温是迅速上升，到上午１１时，全市的气温已普遍在３１℃左右。随后气温缓慢上升，最终竹子林是记录到３２．１℃的最高气温，柏油路面的最高气温也在６４℃，昨天也就成为今年以来最为炎热的一天。不只是气温高，而且昨天炎热持续的时间也特别长，从上午１１点一直到下午４点，气温大都在３１℃以上，对长时间户外活动着实是个考验。好在空气较为干燥，昨天白天相对湿度在５５－７５％之间，人体感觉并不闷。     昨天的能见度充分展示海滨城市深圳的洁净与美丽。虽然昨天早晨还是有些轻雾，但随着地面气温的上升，能见度是实现三级跳，１０公里、２０公里、到中午前后上升到３０公里。与之相配合的是昨天的空气质量等级为优。     这样晴热的天气持续不了多长时间了。预计受弱冷空气和切变线的影响，我市今天上午多云，最高气温３０℃左右，午后转雷阵雨，夜间至１０日白天有中到大雨，局部暴雨，并伴有短时雷雨大风，气温最低下降到２２℃。周日到下周初随后降雨减弱消失，我市转为多云天气，气温上升，天气再度变得炎热。（彭勇刚）
