Heat wave hits Shanghai

Xinhua, July 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Temperatures in Shanghai reached 40 degrees Celsius on Saturday after a five-day heat wave, the municipal meteorology station said.

Over seven million cubic meters of mains water were consumed in the central urban area each day, the highest volume of the summer.
