High temperatures and overtime work until early morning in Sichuan, Chongqing, and other places, still hot after the beginning of autumn.

After experiencing the hottest July since 1961, the southern part of North China, Huanghuai, Sichuan Basin, and other regions continued to face consecutive high temperatures in early August. Chongqing had a highest temperature exceeding 40C for 5 days in a row, with the longest duration of high temperature reaching 18 hours in a single day, making the scorching heat unbearable. Starting today, the overall intensity of high temperatures in China will decrease, with the heat shifting southward. High temperatures in many northern regions will take a break, and the continuous high temperatures in Chongqing are also expected to come to an end. However, high temperatures will develop and increase in regions like Jiangnan and South China, so it is important to pay attention to heat stroke prevention. Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the Liqiu seasonal division, but this does not mean the end of the summer heat. The southern regions are prone to experiencing the "autumn tiger," so precautions should still be taken against hot and humid weather.
