China’s largest city and global financial hub, Shanghai, has set a new heat record, state media reported on Saturday. Temperatures in the city exceeded 35°C (95°F) for 25 consecutive days, breaking the previous record set in 1926.
According to the municipal meteorological bureau, cited by Global Times, temperatures from 6 to 30 August surpassed the previous record of 24 consecutive days above 35°C.
“This breaks a record set 99 years ago, in 1926, when the city experienced 24 consecutive days from 22 July to 14 August with temperatures above 35°C,” the report said.
Shanghai, located on China’s central coast, is the country’s largest city and its financial centre.
In July, China issued high-heat warnings for 754 provinces, cities and counties after many regions recorded temperatures above 40°C (104°F), while much of eastern China, the country’s most populous region, experienced widespread heat above 35°C (95°F).
This year, several provinces also suffered from flooding and typhoons, resulting in dozens of fatalities.
