Most residents can expect a fair to partly cloudy day
The Malaysian's conqueror at successive world championship finals in 2014-15, the rangy Chinese was majestic in the 21-18 21-18 title-decider, soaking up fierce pressure and smashing through Lee's defences at a heaving Riocentro.
"Indeed, I was thinking about winning the gold on the Olympic stage like this," said 27-year-old Chen, who threw his racquets and shirt into feverish clusters of Chinese fans after winning his second medal.
"But I never expected I would finally be able to grab the title.
"It was a pretty epic match, there were only two games but they lasted over 70 minutes. I believe both of us spared no efforts." In a career dominated by near-misses, four-time Olympian Lee lost his third successive final after being beaten by Chinese great Lin for the gold in Beijing and London. He raised Malaysia's hopes of finally grabbing the elusive title after edging nemesis Lin in a classic semi-final on Friday but he failed to play his best in the match that counted.
"I think no matter what, I just have to accept it," the wiry 33-year-old said.
"I didn't play well and Chen did. "Ask anyone if they feel it's a pity (losing). Of course I feel it's a pity, it's my third silver at three Games."
Lee battled to the end, saving two match points but surrendered on the third with a desperate smash that sailed just wide.
An overwhelmed Chen, the bronze medallist at London, slumped to his knees and lay belly-down on the court where he grabbed China's second title of a mostly disappointing tournament for the Asian superpower.
Viktor Axelsen celebrated Denmark's second medal of the tournament by edging twice champion Lin 15-21 21-10 21-17 in the playoff for bronze, denying the Chinese great a medal in his final Games.
