Unprecedented Heatwaves: China Breaks Records with Scorching Hot Days

China has experienced the highest number of hot days over a six-month period since records began, with an average of 4.1 high temperature days exceeding 35 degrees Celsius. The country has already faced four regional heat waves this summer, which have been more widespread and extreme than in previous years. Northern China, with its densely populated regions, has been particularly affected, and more heat waves are expected in the coming weeks. As the climate crisis intensifies, scientists warn that dangerous heat waves will become more frequent and severe. The extreme weather events in China are associated with El Nino, leading to increased rainfall in the south and drought in the north.
