At least 10 dead as record heatwave hits Shanghai, records highest temperatures in at least 140 years

Much of China is in the grip of a summer heatwave, and the China Meteorological Association issued a high temperature warning for several eastern and central provinces, saying temperatures could reach 41 degrees Celsius (106 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday.

City forecasters said temperatures were "rising rapidly" and could reach 40 C in People's Square on Wednesday.

Experts blame a subtropical high pressure system and a lack of rain for the record-breaking heatwave, according to state media.

106? Meh...

I'm sure the previous record was 105.9
