Other countries in Asia have experienced deadly heat waves in recent weeks, which scientists say are aggravated by rising global temperatures, caused partly by the burning of fossil fuels. In China, the heat wave has coincided with a three-day public holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival, devoted to eating rice dumplings and racing boats propelled by teams of paddlers.
Beijing’s weather authorities urged residents to avoid exercising outdoors for long periods and take measures to shield from the sun. Temperatures in the capital are expected to drop to around 34 C on Monday before rising again later next week.
