Long queues at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai
yesterday. The ongoing heatwave has seen a rise in the number of
patients seeking treatment for heat-related conditions. And the heatwave
that is roasting the city is set to continue for the rest of the month,
said Zhang Ruiyi, the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau’s chief
forecaster. Today will likely see temperatures sizzling to 40 degrees
Celsius, possibly triggering the first red alert of the summer, under
which outdoor work has to be suspended. — Xinhua
