The Basque Government has activated the red alert in Euskadi for today, by risk of very high temperatures, between three and six in the afternoon, which could reach 41-42 degrees in points west of the Cantabrian slope. As reported by the Department of Security, in addition, the maximum temperatures could be around 36 degrees in the coastal area, 40 degrees in the inner Cantabrian area and 39 degrees in the transition zone and the axis of the Ebro.

CHINA-BEIJING-THE FORBIDDEN CITY-DRAINAGE SYSTEM-RAINSTORMS WITHSTANDING (CN)

(230731) -- BEIJING, July 31, 2023 (Xinhua) -- The Inner Golden River is seen inside the Forbidden City in Beijing, capital of China, July 31, 2023. As the city of Beijing was hit by rainstorms in recent days, the Forbidden City remained free of flooding thanks to the sound drainage system. The system, first built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), still retains ancient rain ditches adding up to 15 kilometers in length, 13 kilometers of which are hidden. All those ditches lead to the Inner Golden River connected to the surrounding moat outside the Forbidden City as well as the Outer Golden River and the Zhonghai-Nanhai water systems. The foundation of the Forbidden City follows the sloping terrain of Beijing, which is higher in the north and lower in the south. It is also higher along the central axis and lower on both wings, which is ideal for natural drainage. (Xinhua/Jin Liangkuai)
