Скачать или смотреть Record Heatwave Sweeps Beijing, China | Developing | Dawn News English

Beijing experienced scorching temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius for a record third consecutive day, while a vast area in northern China, equivalent to the size of California, endured uncommonly high temperatures for June.

The benchmark weather station in Beijing's southern suburbs recorded a temperature above 40 Celsius, a first in the city's history since the observatory was established in 1951.

Several regions, including Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, and Tianjin, issued or maintained the highest-level "red" hot weather alert, indicating temperatures above 40 celsius within 24 hours.

The heatwaves, fuelled by warm air masses and high-pressure ridges, were intensified by thin cloud cover and long daylight hours during the summer solstice.

Beijing surpassed its average number of days with temperatures exceeding 35 Celsius, reaching the 11th day this year. Although the heat is expected to subside temporarily, it is predicted to regain strength later in the week
