21st July, the sun baking pedestrians on Zhandong Road, Shapingba District.

CHONGQING (CQNEWS) Following two consecutive days of sun, Chongqing has seen temperatures soar to 37℃ or higher in most areas of the city. On 21st July, the Municipal Meteorological Observatory predicted that most areas of Chongqing would retain these high temperatures for another few days.

From meteorological expert reports, the consecutive sunny days are owed to recent rain and wind from a subtropical high pressure belt, first cleaning the sky, and then blowing away pollutant from the air, leaving it clear and blue. (Translated by Kang Zhili, Fathom Language Limited)
