Power shortage continues despite falling temperatures

After weeks of continuing heat, temperatures in China have dropped slightly. For Wednesday, the national weather service recorded more than 40 degrees only in the region near Chongqing, in parts of Sichuan, and along the Yangtze River. In the rest of the southwest, temperatures dropped below 40 or 35 degrees. For the coming days, a drop in temperatures to below the 35-degree mark is in sight.
