Shanghai experiences hottest May day in over a century.

Shanghai experienced its hottest day in May in 100 years, with temperatures reaching 36.7C, breaking the previous high by a full degree. The heatwave is part of a trend of rising temperatures across Southeast and South Asia, with many countries experiencing deadly heatwaves and temperatures hitting records in recent weeks.
