China's heatwave continues, as 15 provincial-level regions are fighting against scorching temperatures, with some seeing temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.
A large swathe of central and eastern regions will be affected. Hebei, Henan, and Shangdong provinces expect to see temperatures soar to 40 degrees Celsius or higher. The heat has also spread further south, affecting Chongqing, Guangdong, and Hubei provinces.
Various local governments have implemented a series of measures to provide relief to outdoor workers.
In Zhengzhou City in central China and Nanchang City in eastern China, subway stations are offering designated areas for outdoor workers and local residents to cool off.
Some areas in northwest China's Shaanxi Province have installed rest stations to provide outdoor workers, such as sanitation workers and the public, with a place to rest and cool down.
The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow alert for high temperatures on 06:00 Monday.
China has a three-tier color-coded weather warning system for high temperatures, with red representing the most severe warning, followed by orange and yellow.

Protests against federal immigration enforcement are spreading across the United States, with the latest demonstration unfolding directly in front of the White House.
Early Saturday, more than a hundred demonstrators gathered there, demanding changes to the Trump administration's immigration policies and accountability for recent shootings involving federal agents.
Immigrant rights and civil rights groups said this weekend's rallies mark a coordinated national response. Demonstrations are planned or already underway in major cities including Philadelphia, as well as across states such as North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Washington, D.C., where organizers are calling for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be removed from local communities.
The nationwide protests follow a deadly week in which three people were shot by federal agents in two days.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a 37-year-old woman, Renee Good, was killed during an enforcement operation by the ICE. A day later in Portland, Oregon, a man and a woman were wounded during a separate federal operation.
In the aftermath, Minnesota state officials accused the Trump administration of blocking their investigation by denying access to key evidence and prematurely drawing conclusions before a full review could be completed.
On Friday, Donald Trump defended the Department of Homeland Security's actions, sharply criticizing Minnesota leaders and calling them corrupt.
Local leaders have pushed back. During a Saturday news conference, the mayor of Minneapolis described ICE agents' actions as reckless.
Officials in both Minneapolis and Portland continue urging demonstrators to remain peaceful as protests intensify nationwide.
According to a 50501 Movement statement issued Friday, at least 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025.
