After nearly a week of continuous high temperatures, the electricity load in the southern region has reached a new high. How hot is it in these areas?
After nearly a week of continuous high temperatures, the electricity load in the southern region has reached a record high, which can give a glimpse of how hot these areas are. For example, Guangdong has repeatedly activated red warnings for high temperatures. The media also reported a news that two people riding electric bicycles collided. They endured the pain and ran from the road to the shade of a tree on the side of the road because the ground was too hot.
Many people say that the cold is bearable because you can wear more clothes, but the heat is very annoying and makes you sweat when you move, especially those who work outdoors. You may suffer from heat stroke or heat stroke. The meteorological departments of the five southern provinces issued 21 high-temperature red warnings and 140 high-temperature orange warnings in one day. Sending WeChat is a kind of advice to people, asking them to pay attention to the changes in their bodies when working, and to carry a lot of water to replenish moisture in time, so that the body can withstand high temperatures. If the temperature is particularly hot, you should temporarily stop outdoor work. You can work for a period of time before the sun comes out or after sunset. You can take a break at noon and mid-afternoon.
It can be understood from the electricity consumption records how high the temperature is in these areas. For example, the air-conditioning load of China Southern Power Grid is 223 million kilowatts, an increase of 2.99% over last year, and every day for 13 consecutive days. Electricity consumption exceeds 200 million kilowatts. High temperature weather can easily cause physical problems, and it can also easily overwhelm the power grid. When people use air conditioners, they can also turn them off late at night or early in the morning, otherwise the power consumption will increase. However, it is your choice to turn off the air conditioner. If the weather is too hot, you cannot turn it off, otherwise you may wake yourself up from the heat.
The increase in electricity consumption also means that the power generation capacity must increase accordingly, otherwise it may not be able to bear the load. However, the hydropower generation capacity in the southern region is very large and can meet people's needs.
