China's scorched southwestern regions extend curbs on power consumption as they deal with dwindling hydropower output during a long drought and heatwave.
State weather forecasters issued a heat"red alert" for the 11th consecutive day, as extreme weather continues to play havoc with power supplies and damage crops.
The National Meteorological Center said as many as 62 weather stations, from Sichuan in the southwest to Fujian on the southeastern coast, recorded record temperatures. The situation could improve starting Wednesday as a cold front moves into China via Xinjiang. It cited firms in the battery industry as saying that industrial power users in the cities of Yibin and Suining had been told to remain closed until Thursday.
