Scorching heatwave breaks record temperatures of 47C (116.6F) drag on in Xinjiang, China

Record High Temperatures

Record high temperatures will continue to scorch areas in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region over the next three days, the National Meteorological centre (NMC) said Saturday.
 
Temperatures will rise above 35 degrees Celsius in most areas of Xinjiang and the southern part will see record high temperatures of 44 to 47 degrees, said the NMC.
 
The “rare” heat was mainly caused by strong subtropical high pressure, it explained.
 
The region has been sweltering under a lingering heat wave over the past week, with temperatures climbing above 35 degrees in most areas, with some reaching 45 degrees, according to the NMC.
 
It warned there is a potential risk of heat stroke and suggested that outdoor work be suspended.
