【伪原创翻译】During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, extreme high temperatures exceeding 40°C have been observed in many northern regions of China, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, etc. As it is only late June, why are we experiencing such high temperatures? Zhou Bing, the chief expert of climate services at the China Meteorological Administration, explained that to some extent, this round of high temperatures in the north is not directly related to El Niño. However, it indirectly responds to El Niño by influencing the East Asian monsoon, East Asian tides, and the high-pressure systems in the westerlies, which brings about the hot weather. Therefore, the high temperatures in Beijing and other places can be seen as an indirect response to El Niño to a certain extent. (CCTV Financial News)
