The temperature in most of Xinjiang is significantly higher than previous years. For Urumqi City, the highest temperature will reach 36 to 40 degrees these days.
The high temperature process in northern Xinjiang will last until the 10th, and southern and eastern Xinjiang will last until the 11th.

With the continuous hot weather this week, many elderly patients, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, have gradually increased their number of visits.
In this hot weather, especially those patients with underlying diseases, try to keep the room ventilated when at home, maintain a suitable temperature, ensure enough drinking water, and come to the hospital anytime if you have symptoms of discomfort.
[Explanation] The Meteorological Department reminds that under the influence of continuous high temperature weather, the snow in mountainous areas will melt rapidly, and the possibility of snow-melting floods is high. The continuous high temperature will also increase the load of electricity and water consumption, and forests, grasslands, and urban fires will be dangerous. The level is higher, and prevention needs to be strengthened.
