中国遭遇60年来最强热浪 长期高温或成新常态
China Meteorological(气象的) Administration (CMA) issued a red alert(警报) — the highest in China’s four-tier weather warning system for extreme heat — for certain parts of China. Scientists believe this year’s heat wave is the strongest in China ever since the country started meteorological observations in 1961.
The high temperature caused drought in many parts of China, including Henan, one of the biggest food producers in the country, and many provinces alongside the Yangtze River. About 20 percent of Hubei is now experiencing drought, according to reports. The Henan provincial government issued a notice asking local governments to closely monitor the drought, and to divert(转移) water in a scientific manner. It also asked officials to exploit new water sources for people in drought areas.
__________ According to statistics from State Grid Corporation of China, electricity sales in Shanghai increased 38.41 percent in July, compared with the same period last year, and the figure rose to 40.24 percent in the first week of August. Many places recently announced plans to restrict companies with high power consumption. Experts said that the demand for electricity keeps increasing because of high temperature, which pushes high the electricity consumption at peak hours. In order to relieve the pressure of peak demand, governments encourage users to shift away from peak time usage of electricity.
