In China’s Chongqing province, residents have taken refuge in tunnels to escape the scorching heat.
Power outages are occurring from time to time in various provinces of China due to increased heat stress. Street lights have been advised to be dimmed to reduce electricity demand.
Because of the extreme heat, the Jialing, a tributary of the Yangtze River in Chongqing, has also dried up.
In this case, the people who take shelter in the air-conditioned tunnels to escape from the heat spend their time playing cards and sleeping.
