What happened in the summer of Qianlong eight years? Why is it called the hottest summer in history?

When Qianlong was eight years old, there was a heat disaster in summer, which was called the hottest summer in history. At that time, many people were killed by heat. According to experts' calculations, the average temperature reached more than 40 degrees, and the highest temperature exceeded 44 degrees. This record has not been broken so far.

There were many extreme weather in ancient times, such as the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty and the hottest summer in China when Qianlong was eight years old. This is very rare in history. According to the standard, continuous days are called heat waves, which are meteorological disasters. The ancients called them heat disasters. The frequency of this situation is still very low, and it happened in ancient China.

The Little Ice Age came in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, the whole land of China fell into cold, and even the population was reduced by half. Later, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Little Ice Age slowly ended, but the hot weather came again. Extremely hot weather occurred in Qianlong for eight years, which is called the hottest summer in history. Many places are shrouded in high temperature and heat, and many people die of heat on the road, even in Beijing.

There was a disaster of overheating in the past. The disaster is very serious, the vegetation is dry and the spring water is dry. Because the weather was very hot and there was a great demand for water, the price of water was very high at that time, almost higher than that of oil. But in the summer of Qianlong for eight years, people who died of heatstroke can still be seen on the road. Even the old man said that he had never seen such a high temperature, which made people unbearable. According to experts' calculations, many people died on the road and some people died at home. .
