China: People are suffering due to the scorching heat in China. Breaking the record of many years, on Sunday, the maximum temperature in the north-western states of the country was recorded more than 52 degrees Celsius.
The rising temperature is also presenting a great example of global warming because six months ago the people of China were battling minus 50 degrees Celsius temperature.
The official newspaper Xinjiang Daily reported on Monday that the temperature in Sanbao Township of Xinjiang’s Turpan Depression reached 52.2 degrees Celsius on Sunday. Also, the record heat is expected to continue for at least the next five days. Let us tell you that earlier in 2015, a temperature of more than 50 degrees was recorded near Ayding.
Several countries in Asia have been in the grip of record-breaking heat since April, raising concerns about their ability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate. Climate experts say the goal of keeping long-term global warming within 1.5C is slipping out of reach.
