The person in charge of the fire station analyzed: "It may be a rare summer heat, the temperature rises suddenly, people's body has not adapted, and the temperature adjustment of body temperature cannot keep up." Considering that the season is coming in the midsummer, the fire protectionThe personnel call on the public to take heatstroke measures in the future, and often supplement moisture and rest.
It is worth noting that the continuous high temperature weather, coupled with the suspension of some thermal power stations due to aging, led to the severe situation of power supply within the area of Tokyo Electric Power Corporation.The scope of power supply in the company includes Tokyo, Ibaraki Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, etc. This area accounts for about one -third of the total population of Japan.
The Japanese government has continued to release the "Power Supply Tastening Alert" since June 27, urging the enterprises, families and government departments within the power supply range of Tokyo Electric Power Company to reduce power consumption, use the air conditioner properly, turn off the air conditioners, turn off the air conditioners, turn off the air conditioners, turn offUnnecessary electric lights to save electricity and energy.

The Japanese Economic News analysis said that with reference to past experience, there is usually insufficient power supply in Japan in summer. This year is particularly serious. This is due to the earthquake in the Fukushima coast in March, which leads to damage to some thermal power plants.The decline in supply capacity, coupled with the hot summer this summer, has led to a serious shortage of power supply.
