To investigate the causes of ozone (O3) pollution in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region under non-high-temperature conditions, this study analyzed differences in O3 pollution characteristics between high-temperature days (daily maximum temperature ≥28℃) and non-high-temperature days (daily maximum temperature <28℃) using air quality and meteorological data from 2015 to 2023. The key findings are as follows: O3 pollution in the PRD primarily occurred on high-temperature days, yet 17.2% of total polluted cities were observed during non-high-temperature days. High-temperature pollution was concentrated in central and southwestern PRD, while non-high-temperature pollution predominantly occurred in the southwest. Non-high-temperature O3 pollution typically occurred under conditions of daily maximum temperature (25.0~27.2℃), relative humidity (44.9%~56.8%), and sunshine duration (7.7~9.8h). Compared to high-temperature pollution days, non-high-temperature pollution days exhibited 6.0% lower relative humidity and a more concentrated distribution of sunshine duration in higher intervals. The SHAP method demonstrated that relative humidity is the most influential meteorological factor affecting O3 concentrations. On high-temperature days and non-high-temperature days, the contribution of relative humidity to the O3_8h concentration can reach up to 30 and 60μg/m3, respectively. Low relative humidity (<65%) paired with prolonged sunshine duration synergistically promoted O3 formation, whereas high relative humidity (>65%) combined with reduced sunshine suppressed it. Additionally, the pronounced impact of sunshine duration under non-high-temperature conditions highlights sufficient solar radiation as a prerequisite for O3 generation. Under non-high-temperature conditions, NO2 exerts a weaker influence on O3 concentrations compared to high-temperature days, with its contribution to O3 concentration variations quantified at approximately 15 μg/m3.
