High-temperature weather has occurred in many places in the north. This round of high-temperature weather lasts for a long time, has high intensity and has a wide range of influence.
Recently, Hebei Province has experienced continuous high temperature weather. Data from the Hebei Meteorological Observatory shows that from the 16th to the 18th, a total of 66 counties (cities, districts) experienced high temperatures above 35°C in southwestern Zhangjiakou, central and southern Shijiazhuang, Cangzhou and its south.

Since the warm ridge has long controlled the northern region of my country, coupled with the inactivity of cold air, it has jointly created continuous high temperature weather. From the 22nd, the warm ridge began to disappear, and the air flow in the middle layer was flat and with shallow troughs, which was conducive to carrying weak cold air in and relieved the high temperature of Huanghuai in North China to a certain extent.
The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that from the 20th to the 21st, there will be continuous high temperature weather in southern Shanxi, southern Hebei, Henan, Shandong and northern Jiangsu and Anhui, as well as western Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi. about. Meteorological experts suggest that the public should pay attention to the safety of electricity consumption, reduce the time of outdoor activities, and take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down when the high temperature continues. In areas with severe drought caused by high temperature weather, water sources should be deployed in time to irrigate crops.
