Editorial Policy and Data Review Standards

China Temp Rankings combines automated weather data collection with original organization, explanations, bilingual labels, maps, ranking tables, and reading notes. This page explains what is automated, what is editorial, and how we handle corrections.

Purpose of the Site

The site exists to make city and province weather comparisons easier to understand. We focus on temperature rankings, 7-day forecast ranges, weather-condition labels, wind signals, and practical context for readers who are comparing regions or planning travel.

What Is Automated

Weather readings, forecast fields, province summaries, city tables, and date pages are generated by scripts from public weather sources. Automation allows the site to update many locations consistently, but it also means that some source delays, missing fields, or broad condition labels can appear on the page until the next update or correction.

What Is Original Editorial Work

The site adds structure and context around the raw feed. This includes grouping cities by province, calculating hot and cold rankings, translating common labels, explaining regional variation, writing methodology notes, adding travel and clothing context, and separating high-value core pages from repetitive date archive pages.

Quality Checks

Generated pages are designed to keep the underlying city rows visible so readers can check the source-level values behind a summary. Core pages use canonical URLs, sitemap inclusion, clear contact information, data-source notes, and noindex handling for similar forecast archive pages. We also watch for broken province slugs, missing language pages, and outdated site navigation.

Corrections and Feedback

If you notice a confusing label, stale value, broken page, translation issue, or missing source context, please contact leijie115@gmail.com. Helpful reports include the page URL, city or province name, viewing time, and a short description of the problem. Reported issues may lead to content edits, generation-rule changes, or clearer limitations on the relevant page.

Weather Safety

We do not issue official weather warnings. Automated ranking pages are useful for comparison and general planning, but not for emergency response. Readers should use official meteorological agencies and local authorities for warnings, disaster information, aviation, marine travel, public transport disruption, and other safety-critical decisions.

Advertising Independence

Advertising does not determine ranking order, weather interpretation, or page inclusion. The goal is to keep the primary content useful before any advertising surface. Pages such as privacy, terms, contact, methodology, data sources, and editorial policy are provided to explain how the site works and how readers can evaluate it.

Ongoing Maintenance

The site generator is updated when we find duplicate-page risks, confusing navigation, outdated aliases, unclear Chinese or English copy, missing canonical signals, or weak explanations. The current improvement focus is to make every indexable page more useful on its own while still fitting into a clear weather-comparison site structure.
