In July, there were only 8 days that Chinese meteorological administration didn't post a warning about high temperature. Yesterday, it is the 13th day Chinese meteorological administration posts a warning about high temperature continuously.

The employees in meteorological administration introduced that the subtropical anticyclone is the reason for the higher temperature. And they estimated that the area under high temperature would gradually become smaller from next week.

In Zhejiang Province, some companies take a few days of paid vacation from July 26th to August 4th because of the high temperature. During this period, the employees still can get usual salary and subsidize.

Some employees said this action is very humanized and they will be full of passion after the "holiday".

Actually this kind of holiday is really good for companies because companies can do some maintenance and employees can come back with a better enthusiasm.

Besides, it's interesting that due to the high temperature, the number of mosquitos in China decreases a lot.
