BEIJING (Reuters): Heatwaves are forecast to return to China over the next 10 days after a brief respite, with high temperatures expected from east to west, meteorologists warned.

A sharp spike in temperatures is expected as soon as Saturday, known as the day of the "big heat" on the Chinese Almanac, before building up into heatwaves, defined as periods of atypically hot weather of three days or more.
