Weather in the extreme
Print Edition
Areas throughout China have been tested by extreme weather this summer.
Power consumption exceeded 50 billion kwh in July in Shanghai’s neighboring Jiangsu Province, the highest of all provincial areas, partly due to the use of air-conditioners.
In central China’s Hubei Province, dubbed “the land of 1,000 lakes,” 65 reservoirs have dried up.
The heat wave has left about 5.95 million people and 1.72 million head of livestock short of drinking water, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.
Meanwhile, in the arid northwest, Gansu Province received double the average annual precipitation recorded for the past 30 years in July. Twenty-four people died after floods hit Tianshui City on July 25.
