东北三省空调销量暴增1726%

This year's unusual high temperatures in northeastern China, which is usually dry and cool in summer, has led to a sharp rise in demand for airconditioners and a shortage of installers.

我国东北地区夏季通常干燥凉爽，今年异常的高温天气使得人们对空调的需求大增，安装工人紧缺。

Northeast China provinces -- Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang -- saw temperatures of up to 38 degrees Celsius this summer and experienced"sauna-like weather", a high-temperature and high-humidity weather trend commonly seen in southern China.

今夏，我国东北的省份--辽宁、吉林和黑龙江，气温高达38摄氏度，还出现了华南常见的温度高、湿度大的“桑拿天”。

Due to such extreme weather, many families and companies rushed to buy air conditioners.

According to sales data from Gome, a home appliance giant, sales of air conditioners in northeastern China recently rose 1,726% year-on-year, while sales in Shenyang, capital of Liaoning province, increased 3,545.4% year-on-year.
