Under the condition of global warming, the temperature in Chongqing has been continuously rising, and the forest fires in Chongqing in 2022 have attracted the attention of all sectors of society. Based on this, this article will analyze the daily temperature and sudden weather changes in Chongqing from 1982 to 2024, study the causes of the sudden temperature changes, and the ways in which they occur. This paper uses data from the past 43 years and plots to show the trend changes of temperature in Chongqing. It is found that the temperature in Chongqing rises, falls, and then rises again, and the temperature in Chongqing is compared with the climate in Sichuan. In addition, the number of days with temperatures above 28℃ over the past 43 years was analyzed, and the highest values were specifically analyzed. The factors that led to the sudden increase in temperature were identified, and the two most important ones were: the impact of urbanization and the topography of Chongqing itself. Measures for change were proposed in response. Specific measures for change can be achieved through intelligent maintenance to increase the probability of identifying problems, or by implementing carbon neutrality and carbon reduction to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
