Spring temperatures rose day by day, and by the end of this second month, even light clothing felt oppressively hot in the sun.
Thankfully, a downpour mitigated the extreme high temperatures slightly.
But the temperature still hovered between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius, heralding an aggressive summer ahead.
Meteorological satellites had issued early warnings.
The Program Department also compared the last 20 years of temperature data and provided a simulated estimate, reminding all regions of the Development Alliance that this summer would bring extremely high temperatures, and rainfall might be below the average. It called for early water conservation, preferably by constructing Dead Sea Channels, to ensure a sufficient supply of water for daily use.
Near Jade City, with its well-developed infrastructure, this was not a concern. At the beginning of the year, Gongsun Bao had just specially constructed a third Dead Sea Channel for the rice paddies.
