CHINA'S National Meteorological Center issued a blue alert yesterday, saying that temperatures up to 39 degrees Celsius will hit several provinces today.
The majority of southwestern China's Sichuan Basin, including the municipality of Chongqing and parts of northwestern Shaanxi Province, will see temperatures rising to between 35 and 37 degrees.
Temperatures in east China's Zhejiang and Fujian provinces and central China's Hunan and Jiangxi provinces are predicted to reach as high as 39 degrees.
The center has warned residents in these areas to avoid going outdoors this afternoon, when temperatures will reach their peak.
The elderly and anyone feeling ill, as well as children and outdoor laborers, should be taking measures so that they can avoid the worst of the heat, the center said.
The center also called for utility companies to pay particular attention to the safety of their electrical transmission and supply equipment to prevent power overloads during the heat wave.
