Yes, it was a record breaker. The week-long break that was this year’s National Day was the hottest ever. As much of China experienced a heat wave, in our own Nanjing and Jiangsu Province, temperatures rose to their highest levels in history.
是的，这是一个纪录打破者。今年国庆节为期一周的假期是有史以来最热的。随着中国大部分地区经历热浪，南京和江苏省的气温升至历史最高水平。
As released yesterday on the Jiangsu Meteorology (江苏气象) official WeChat account, the average temperature in Jiangsu Province over the National Day holiday was 25.2 degrees Celcius.
据江苏气象官方微信公众号昨天发布的消息，国庆假期江苏省平均气温为25.2℃。
That’s a number for both day and night time temperatures combined, meaning that it was indeed the hottest yet.
这是白天和夜间气温的总和，这意味着它确实是迄今为止最热的。
Such record breakers were the result of the influence of a subtropical high in the region which led to temperatures 5.9 degrees Celsius higher than the same period last year.
如此破纪录的原因是该地区副热带高压影响导致气温比去年同期高出5.9摄氏度。
They are the highest temperatures for the National Day period in history. Or rather, since records began.
这是历史上国庆期间的最高气温。或者更确切地说，自从有记录以来。
Temperatures were highest in the western parts of Jiangsu, with Liyang in the southwestern city of Changzhou recording the maximum of 36.0 degrees.
江苏西部地区气温最高，其中西南部常州溧阳最高气温达36.0度。
Elsewhere, the highest average temperature was found to be in Suzhou, at over 27 degrees, while the lowest was recorded in the northeastern city of Yancheng, at less than 22 degrees.
其他地方，平均气温最高的是苏州，超过27度，最低的是东北部城市盐城，不到22度。
In our very own Nanjing, also in the west of the province, the average temperature over the holiday was 26.1 degrees Celsius, 6.4 degrees higher than last year and again, the highest in history.
同样位于省西的南京，节日期间平均气温为26.1摄氏度，比去年升高6.4度，再次创历史最高纪录。
In Jiangsu as a whole, 80 percent of weather stations recorded temperatures of over 32 degrees on 3 and 4 October.
10月3日至4日，全江苏80%的气象站记录气温超过32度。
Also on 3 October, Nanjing’s Gaochun and Lishui districts showed highs of 35.6 and 35.0 degrees, respectively.
同样在10月3日，南京高淳区和溧水区的最高气温分别达到35.6度和35.0度。
While the holiday closed with a significant dip in temperature and a light rain in some places, there is not much reprive in sight. Maximum temperatures are set to return to about 30 degrees in the coming days, meaning there is still little hope of a Nanjing autumn in the short term.
虽然假期结束时气温大幅下降，部分地区有小雨，但目前还看不到多少缓和的迹象。未来几天最高气温将重返30度左右，这意味着短期内南京秋天的希望仍然不大。
