Summer is here and it's a blazing hot one. So hot, in fact, that Beijing issued a yellow alert early on Thursday morning, following the heat wave that's currently been burning up the capital and most regions in Tianjin and Hebei. The weather alert is in effect through July 2. This wouldn't be the first time, with unusually high temperatures reported last April.
In efforts to keep themselves protected, locals and tourists broke out their sun umbrellas and loosely covered themselves with extra layers, as reported by the Global Times. We're sure there were Beijing bikinis abound but they didn't quite make the gallery cut.

Looking to take a cool dip to keep from melting? Check out our recent guide on the city's best pools to visit this summer. The forecast shows highs over 35C through the weekend, according to AccuWeather, so keep that sunscreen handy.
For those that can't quite bring themselves to brave the sun, beat the heat by staying inside snuggled up with one of these electric fans, now available on our e-commerce website thMart.
On the bright side, the blue skies aren't so bad. Stay cool, Beijingers.
