A building ridge of high pressure will continue to provide dry weather across northern China through the weekend, allowing temperatures to soar to near record levels.
High temperatures will average 5-10 C (10-20 F) above normal across much of northern and eastern China, including the major cities of Shanghai and Beijing.
Following a cooler weekend, temperatures rebounded to around 35 C (95 F) in Beijing on Monday. Temperatures peaked around (90 F) on Tuesday while gusty winds produced blowing dust at times throughout the day.
Temperatures soared even higher on Wednesday with highs reaching near 38 C (100 F) across the Beijing area.
The hottest day of the week was Thursday as temperatures approached the highest ever recorded in Beijing. The temperature peaked at 42 C (108 F) in some parts of the city. This is the first time the temperature has reached 40 C (104 F) in Beijing since July of 2010.
