Chinese Cities In The North Brace For Torrid Heat Days

In July, Chinese weather experts issued a number of heat advisories for the country's northern regions.

It took place as some places were anticipated to achieve temperatures beyond 40°C, placing strain on already overworked electricity networks.

China has been experiencing oppressive heat for several weeks, which has prompted local governments to advise citizens and companies to reduce their use of electricity. 

The severe temperatures may surpass last year's scorching spell, which lasted for more than two months, according to weather experts' predictions.
