Beijing has recorded its hottest June day in more than 60 years with the mercury touching 41.1C (105.9F), Chinese weather authorities say.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is experiencing a prolonged heatwave with extreme temperatures to persist until the end of June.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, officials said it was the hottest June day since record keeping began in 1961.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to KNMI,<\/a> the previous record for June was 40.6C, set in 1961, so we are only talking half a degree higher, which hardly justifies the BBC\u2019s hysteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since 1961, Beijing has been transformed out of all recognition; roads, high rise buildings, traffic and industry have replaced the city of Mao\u2019s time. Unquestionably UHI is now adding at least a couple of degrees to today\u2019s temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
