In a heat wave sweeping the Chinese mainland’s southwest, Chongqing Municipality and Chengdu City, the capital of Sichuan Province, have both issued heat alerts as temperatures climb toward 40°C. Starting Tuesday morning, the Chengdu Meteorological Observatory raised a high-temperature orange alert—its second-highest warning level—forecasting that multiple districts will see afternoon highs above 38°C. This blistering heat is set to stick around for at least three days, challenging residents, visitors, and travelers to adapt.
Local officials are urging everyone to stay cool: monitor weather updates, seek air-conditioned spaces, and stay hydrated. As digital nomads and global citizens explore these vibrant cities, timing outdoor activities around peak temperatures will be key. With summer pushing boundaries, staying informed is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity.
