Hey everyone! As heatwaves continue to grip large parts of China, local authorities are stepping up with cooling measures to tackle record-breaking temperatures. Across multiple provinces, daytime highs are soaring beyond 35°C, with some cities feeling the burn at over 40°C. 😲
In Shaanxi Province, weather stations have recorded all-time high temperatures, triggering red alerts in several areas. Meanwhile, in Yuncheng City, efforts like street spraying and publicly accessible rest stations offering free water and air conditioning are making a big difference. Even in Turpan—often nicknamed the "fire stove" of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region—authorities have increased patrols and set up cooling stations as temperatures are set to spike above 45°C.
Looking ahead, scattered rainfall expected from Thursday might bring some relief, though central provinces such as Henan and Hubei could still feel the heat for a while longer. As we face these extreme conditions, remember to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and keep up with local weather updates. Let’s beat the heat together! 🌞💦
