Beijing's recent muggy and rainy days have raised public concerns, with many netizens complaining that they feel as if they're in a sauna, sticky and uncomfortable.

The latest weather forecast for Beijing predicts showers or thunderstorms today and tomorrow (July 5 to 6). If you are going out, be sure to bring rain gear. Scattered rainfall is expected throughout the coming week, with daytime highs of 30-33°C and nighttime lows of 23-24°C from July 5 to 12.

Health Tips

The increased humidity may make you feel stuffy. The meteorological authority warns that heat stroke is highly likely in highly humid and stuffy conditions.
If you experience symptoms like dizziness, headache, fatigue, thirst, sweating, palpitations, flushed skin, or elevated body temperature, seek help promptly, since these can be signs of heat stroke, and move to a cool, ventilated place to rest. Don't forget to replenish water and electrolytes. If symptoms worsen or are not resolved, seek medical treatment immediately.
