Record high temperatures in Beijing and parts of northern China have prompted authorities to issue “red” alerts for extreme weather and urge people to limit their time outdoors. The Nanjiao observatory recorded temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius for a third consecutive day, while Beijing experienced its second-hottest day on Record at 41.1 C. The heat wave has coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival and has been caused by warm air masses associated with high-pressure ridges, compounded by thin cloud covers and long daylight hours around the summer solstice.
