Beijing, June 28 (RHC)-- Northern China suffered a weekend of record temperatures, with highs in the capital Beijing topping 40 degrees Celsius, or 104 degrees Fahrenheit, for three consecutive days. 

Authorities are warning of more dangerous heat in the forecast and recommend people limit their time outdoors. 

One resident of the Chinese capital, Xi Zhand, told reporters: “I’m definitely worried, but I think I’m still young and can handle it.  And I hope the older people will go out as little as possible these days and just stay at home.  The temperature outside is just too hot.  If your physical strength is not good or you have high blood pressure, it is easy to get heat stroke.”
