wuhan, september 4 (china news service) (reporter ma furong) in response to the current continued high temperature weather, the wuhan municipal education bureau issued a notice on the 4th, requiring the suspension of outdoor group activities such as military training and physical education classes; individual primary schools and kindergartens that do not meet the conditions can flexibly adjust their education and teaching arrangements.

ms. wang, a parent of a first-grade student at the central china normal university no. 1 middle school, told reporters that her child started school on september 2, but due to the hot weather, the school notified him to study at home from the 4th and he is expected to return to school on the 9th. "it is understandable that the child is on holiday for the sake of his health," said ms. wang.

due to the high temperature, the enshi municipal education bureau issued a notice on the 2nd, announcing that the official class time for the urban area's "five offices and one town" primary and junior high schools and low-altitude (below 800 meters) township schools will be postponed to september 9; yongxing primary school in yangxin county, huangshi city will also delay the start of school.

since the end of august, the "autumn tiger" has continued to wreak havoc. monitoring data from the hubei provincial meteorological bureau showed that from september 1 to 2, the highest temperature in most parts of the province reached above 38°c, and the highest temperature in more than ten places such as yuan'an, changyang, ezhou, and yichang exceeded 40°c. 54 stations broke the local temperature record for september. severe meteorological drought occurred in western enshi, western shiyan, eastern yichang, western jingzhou, and southern jingmen.

according to the weather forecast, the "hot" weather in hubei is expected to continue in early september, with the highest temperature in most areas reaching 35℃-39℃, and exceeding 40℃ in some local areas.

ren guoyu, professor at china university of geosciences (wuhan) and former chief expert of the national climate center, said that the fierceness of this year's "autumn tiger" is attributed to the abnormally strong subtropical high pressure, which, combined with the south asian high pressure, firmly controls the middle and lower reaches of the yangtze river basin and the sichuan basin. under the control of high pressure, the air sinks, suppressing convection, making it difficult to form clouds and rain, and the strong sunshine leads to continuous high temperatures. on the other hand, factors such as global warming, improved air quality, urban heat island effect, and less precipitation in the early stage have also increased the intensity of high temperature heat waves in urban areas to varying degrees.
