Statistics from the National Climate Center show that from June 1 to July 20, the number of high-temperature days in southern Huanghuai, Jianghuai, Jianghan, and northeastern Jiangnan in China was more than 10 days higher than normal, and the daily maximum temperature at many sites exceeded historical extremes. value.
At the same time, the high temperature in many places around the world is not going down.
Since June, record-breaking high temperature heat waves have occurred in many places in East Asia, Western Europe, North Africa and North America.
In particular, on July 14th, Portugal experienced a high temperature of 47°C, breaking the country's high temperature record in July; on July 19th, an unprecedented large-scale sweltering high temperature occurred in the UK, breaking high temperature records in many places, and 40.2°C at London Heathrow Airport.

In response to the impact of high temperature, Fu Guerlain reminded that relevant departments need to make early warning reminders, implement protective measures, and ensure electricity and water use; enterprises should allocate operating hours reasonably and avoid outdoor operations during high temperature periods; the public should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling, and reduce outdoor exposure under high temperature.
