heatwaves will threaten China, as the almanack’s “great heat” day approaches

Over the next ten days, China will experience more heatwaves from east to west, with some coastal towns already on their highest alert level and warnings of the possibility of dam failure in inland regions due to glacier melt.
On Saturday, temperatures are predicted to rise quickly before intensifying into heatwaves, which are defined as periods of very hot weather lasting three days or longer.
According to the Chinese Almanac, which uses the lunar calendar, this Saturday is the “great heat” day.

Over the next ten days, China will experience more heatwaves from east to west, with some coastal towns already on their highest alert level and warnings of the possibility of dam failure in inland regions due to glacier melt.

On Saturday, temperatures are predicted to rise quickly before intensifying into heatwaves, which are defined as periods of very hot weather lasting three days or longer. According to the Chinese Almanac, which uses the lunar calendar, this Saturday is the “great heat” day.

The hot spell is anticipated to have a comparable geographic reach to the heatwaves that occurred from July 5 to 17, although more areas may experience temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius or higher, according to Fu Jiaolan, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Centre.

A few cities in the industrial and export-heavy Zhejiang province on Friday issued red alerts, the strongest of a three-tier warning system, for temperatures expected to reach at least 40C during the next 24 hours.

The Ministry of Emergency Management warned on Friday that the demand for air conditioning by households, offices, and factories could spike to a new high this summer, placing “serious stress” on the national electricity grid’s ability to maintain safe operation.

Leo Zhang, president of chemical product manufacturer Sika China, said, “We have regulations that need to be followed for all of the plants in China and in Shanghai.

Every year, we take steps to make work more comfortable, such as providing ice cream to employees when the weather is too hot.

According to the ministry, Zhejiang, along with portions of Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, and the metropolis of Chongqing, are also at risk for forest fires in the near future.
