Shanghai saw its hottest day in May for more than 100 years on Monday with temperatures hitting 36.1 C, continuing a brutal trend of unusually hot weather in the country since March.
Several southern Chinese provinces are expected to swelter under extreme heat over the next few days and weather experts have already predicted another blistering summer, a repeat of last year's record-breaking more than two-month stretch.
In the next three to five days, the maximum temperature in some cities in Sichuan, located in China's southwest, will reach 38 C, and hit 42 C in some areas, according to state media. China, known for extreme weather conditions, has also been experiencing torrential rains for weeks in some regions.
