CNA – Cities across China were on red alert for heatwaves yesterday, as tens of millions of people were warned to stay indoors and record temperatures strained energy supply.

Scientists said the extreme weather has become more frequent due to climate change, and will likely grow more intense as global temperatures continue to rise.
