Baked by heatwave
People nap on the sightseeing platform of the Bund in Shanghai on July 23. Scorching conditions in recent weeks forced those with no air-conditioning in their homes to seek reprieve from the heat outdoors at night. Authorities in Shanghai have issued 15 orange and three red alerts for high temperatures over the past few weeks. The extreme heat in the city has killed at least four people this year.
