Shanghai has "been broiled for 19 consecutive days"

In the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River in Jiangsu Province, 150,000 soldiers were safeguarding dikes in a sweltering heatwave. The temperature hovered around 35 degrees to 37 degrees Celsius on Saturday. Shanghai, which has been broiled for 19 consecutive days, registered a record 39.1 degrees Celsius on Saturday. The local meteorological station issued two heat alarms on Saturday, saying such weather would continue in the next two days. Guangdong Province has suffered from high temperatures for 18 consecutive days. The north part of Guangdong registered a record 38 degrees Celsius Saturday. Insufficient rainfall over the past two months has caused drought in some parts of Guangdong. In July, Guangdong received 70 percent less of precipitation than the average amount of the same period of past years. The provincial drought relief headquarters has ordered that local departments reserve rainfall and improve the management of water and electricity consumption. )

2. We are talking about temperatures of 98 to 102 F with very high
humidity. To make matters worse, many people do not have air conditioning.
