For the first time, Shanghai government announced an emergency level-two in some parts of the provinces due to the dangers of the weather.
The hot weather is visibly demonstrated by local journalist as they fried meat in the pavement. The meat was actually fried after 10 minutes. This exemplifies how to body can be toasted by just hanging out in the yard.
According to the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau, Shanghai has suffered 24 days of hot weather at above 35 degrees Celsius in July. The chief officer of the bureau stated, "It should be a new record since Shanghai had its own weather recording."
"Also, in July of this year Shanghai reached 40.6 degrees Celsius, its highest ever temperature. So the highest temperature in July also broke a record."
The level-two emergency was alerted last Tuesday, as warnings were given out to nine affected provinces.
The China Meteorological Administration announced on their website, "Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Chongqing and Shanghai meteorological bureaus should enter into emergency response on the basis of actual weather conditions."
Added to that, the administration announced that there are some areas south of the Yangtze river that could also experience the hot temperature of over 35 degrees Celsius until August 8. The residents were advised to avoid doing outdoor activities for a while, and take actions to protect the body against the intense heat.
One of the residents said, "It's impossible for people to live without an air-conditioner," as reported by the Reuters news agency. "Just going outside in this kind of temperate can roast people."
