In a massive development, China on Friday issued its first National Draught alert after its multiple regions were engulfed in record-breaking heatwaves for continuous three to four weeks. Chinese authorities have been fighting and working hard to control forest fires and to protect the crops from burning heat across the Yangtze river basin. Notably, China draught alert is of 'yellow level' meaning it is only two notches short of the most serious warning on Beijing's scale.
China national draght alert comes after its regions from Sichuan in the southwest to Shanghai in the Yangtze delta have been going through continuous extreme heat waves. Now, those wondering China draught reason or asking what could be China draught reason lies in climate change.
As per the Chinese media report, Chinese scientists and the government have called climate change a China draught reason. Furthermore, in one of the Yangtze's important flood basins in central China's Jiangxi province, the Poyang Lake has now shrunk to a quarter of its normal size for this time of year.
It is pertinent to mention here that more than 5 million Chinese people in Southwest China had to suffer power cut due to the record break heatwave. In fact, factories had to stop working after electricity demand due to hike in air condition (AC) demands surged and the electricity power plat of China failed massively. Temperatures across Sichuan province had surpassed 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in recent days, causing demand for air conditioning to spike.
