Icy, unprecedented cold makes parts of China shiver: in the northern Chinese city of Mohe, the lowest temperature ever recorded in the People’s Republic was reached on Sunday with minus 53 degrees.
The official news agency Xinhua reported Monday that the record of minus 52.3 degrees from 1969 has been broken in China’s northernmost city on the border with Russia. For three days in a row, temperatures there have already dropped to more than minus 50 degrees.
Extreme cold has hit Heilongjiang province, forcing several areas in the Great Hinggan Mountains to endure extremely low temperatures. The city of Mohe experienced snow and ice eight months a year, with an average annual temperature of around minus three degrees, Xinhua reported.
