  • This marks the second consecutive year of breaking temperature records across the nation.
  • Shanghai experienced its hottest year since the Qing dynasty, with an average temperature of 18.8°C.
  • The extreme heat contributed to increased power consumption and negatively impacted agriculture in key farming regions.
  • To address these challenges, China is researching ways to adapt staple crops to warmer conditions, as crop yields may decline without such innovations.
