The National Meterological Bureau continued to issue heat alerts across the country today and Fuzhou, capital of Fujian Province, joined the list of hottest cities, according to a finding released yesterday.
Fuzhou came out on top of the hottest cities list made by Chinese meteorologist Song Yingjie. Song's list was based on how many days a city had with temperature above 35 degrees Celsius from 2000 to 2009. Fuzhou took the first place with 375 sweating days. It was followed by Hangzhou (355), Chongqing (343) and Changsha (326).
Traditionally, Chinese refer Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing and Hangzhou as the "Four Stoves," meaning the hottest cities in China.
Song ruled Wuhan out from the "Four Stoves" as it has only 305 high-temperature days in the past decade. Haikou, Nanchang, Guangzhou, Xi'an and Nanning took the 6th to 10th places, all having more than 200 high-temperature days in a decade.
