China Jiangsu Net News entered the "first crouch" in the dog days yesterday, and the weather also matched the "dog days" powerfully. The temperature went straight to 35℃, and the highest temperature in Taixing even reached 35.7℃. While the blue sky and white clouds reappear in Taizhou, the high temperature returns strongly, which is the hottest in a year. Whether you like it or not, it is coming.
It is understood that this year’s "dog days" total 40 days, which is the fourth consecutive year that our city has encountered the "extended version" of the "dog days". The hot mode of summer is about to start. Are you ready for this high-temperature protracted war?
Since the summer of May 14th this year, all parts of our city have generally experienced many "baking tests" in high temperature days. Among them, Hailing and Jingjiang have survived five high-temperature days respectively, Jiangyan and Xinghua have survived seven high-temperature days respectively, and Taixing, the "burning value" of off the charts, has even killed 12 of them, which once refreshed the record of the highest temperature this summer to 37.5℃ (June 26th).
The Municipal Meteorological Observatory said that under the control of subtropical high, the weather in our city will continue to be fine from Tuesday to Saturday this week. Among them, it will change from sunny to cloudy to sunny to partly cloudy in the next two days, which means the sunshine will be more vicious. During this period, the highest temperature during the day is around 35℃, and the burning feeling is obvious. The lowest temperature at night is basically 26℃ to 27℃, which is also very sultry.
It is expected that by Sunday, the city may be affected by the periphery of the tropical system, the weather will switch to cloudy to cloudy with showers or thunderstorms, and the temperature will drop slightly, at 26℃ to 33℃. This round of continuous high temperature weather may come to an end.
As the saying goes, "cold has three or nine, and heat has three volts." The dog days officially opened yesterday are another extended version. Judging from the situation in recent years, from 2015 to 2018, the city’s 40-day long rainy days have been four consecutive years.
According to experts from the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, starting from the summer solstice, according to the arrangement of the dry and branch dates, the third Geng Day began to fall. The first and last days are 10 days, while the middle period depends on the beginning of autumn time in those years. If it is 10 days after the middle period, it will be another 10 days before beginning of autumn. Therefore, there are cases in which the dog days are 30 days in some years and 40 days in some years. From the average analysis of climate, the dog days are in the midsummer heat, but it doesn’t last every day.
The grid load hit a new high this year yesterday.
Emergency plan to ensure safe and reliable operation of power grid
Since the plum blossom, the temperature in our city has gradually increased, which has brought about a rising power load. Yesterday, the highest load of the power grid was 4.322 million kilowatts, setting a new record this year, of which more than 30% came from air conditioning. According to the forecast, the highest dispatching load of Taizhou Power Grid this year is 4.9 million kilowatts, up 5.92% year-on-year.
In order to meet the peak summer, actively respond to the possible extreme high temperature weather and unplanned outage of power plant generators, State Grid Taizhou Power Supply Company has compiled the Emergency Plan for Power Supply in 2018 and the Order Table for Power Limit of Taizhou Power Grid Accidents in 2018.
Up to now, State Grid Taizhou Power Supply Company has completed the elimination of various key equipment and lines ahead of schedule, improved the health level of equipment, and ensured the "zero defect" operation of transmission, distribution and substation equipment. At the same time, strengthen the check of main transformer oil temperature, strengthen the close cooperation between county dispatching and transmission, transformation and distribution inspection personnel at all levels, monitor the operation of all kinds of power grid equipment and maintain some important transmission channels above 220 kV in real time, and deal with hidden dangers immediately when found.
In the next step, the company will also closely track the overloading of users’ equipment, increase the intensity and frequency of the rectification of users’ overload, and prevent the overload of power grid equipment caused by users’ overload or affect the stable operation of the power grid. Carry out special power grid anti-accident drills in a targeted manner, standardize the emergency duty system, and improve the accident handling ability and contingency ability of the operators. In addition, pay close attention to the changes of high temperature weather and the power supply and demand situation in the city, constantly optimize the operation mode of the power grid, and rationally distribute the load to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power grid during the summer peak period.
High temperature allowance for 4 months in a row.
Raise the standard and issue 300 yuan every month.
The high temperature for several days failed to stop the construction progress of the rapid reconstruction project of Haijiang section of National Highway 328. In order to ensure that the project was completed on time, the operators of all participating units braved the heat, overcame difficulties and fought in the front line.
From a distance, pavers, rubber-tyred (steel-wheel) rollers, loaders, waterwheels, oil tankers, material trucks and many other types of work work work in an orderly manner. With the rolling of asphalt, the pavement has been formed in a short time, braving bursts of hot air, and it looks like an "open-air sauna room".
It is understood that with the gradual increase of temperature, all project departments of the project have taken corresponding measures, especially adjusting the construction period of aerial work, and starting work in non-urban sections early in the morning to avoid the high temperature at noon and prevent safety accidents caused by heatstroke in aerial work. In addition, each project department also set up a rest area in the operation section with relatively concentrated personnel, and prepared heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies such as herbal tea, cold boiled water, Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid and cool oil and medical boxes.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, this year, our province raised the standard of high-temperature allowance, and paid 300 yuan every month for four months (June, July, August and September). If the employing unit arranges workers to engage in outdoor open-air operations in high temperature weather above 35℃ (including 35℃), and cannot take effective measures to reduce the workplace temperature below 33℃ (excluding 33℃), it shall pay high temperature allowance to the workers.
The wages of workers during normal working hours and the minimum wage standard stipulated by the state do not include the high-temperature allowance. The employer shall not reduce the wages of workers because of the high-temperature allowance, and the expenses of labor protection articles such as heatstroke prevention drinks and medicines provided by the employer shall not offset the high-temperature allowance.
If the employer fails to pay the high temperature allowance according to the regulations, the employee may report the complaint to the human resources and social security department, or apply for mediation, arbitration or bring a lawsuit according to law.
During the hot weather, the employing unit shall, according to the production characteristics and specific conditions, adjust the labor and rest system according to law, and take measures such as reasonably arranging working hours, rotating operations, appropriately increasing the rest time of workers in the hot working environment, reducing labor intensity, and reducing outdoor operations during the hot period to ensure safe production and ensure the health and life safety of employees.
The working hours of sanitation workers have been adjusted.
Leave work early, call it a night, and stop work at high temperature in the afternoon.
Continuous sultry weather will bring extremely adverse effects to sanitation operations and the health of sanitation workers. Recently, the Environmental Sanitation Department of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau held a production work meeting, formulated a work plan for heatstroke prevention and cooling during high temperature, and adjusted the outdoor working hours of sanitation workers to prevent heatstroke.
From July 14th, the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Department adopted the measures of "leaving work early, closing work late, and stopping work at high temperature in the afternoon (12:30-15:00)" to shorten the continuous operation time of front-line workers and ensure the health and safety of sanitation workers. At the same time, combined with the actual work needs, strengthen the overall dispatch of motor vehicles such as garbage trucks, compression trucks, small side loading trucks, small road maintenance vehicles, and micro road sweepers, and increase the frequency of mechanized cleaning and sprinkling water to reduce dust in a timely manner, which not only minimizes the labor intensity of sanitation workers, but also ensures the normalization of road environmental sanitation.
At present, the sanitation department has distributed towels, rendan, ten drops of water and other heatstroke prevention products to employees, and timely distributed high-temperature subsidies according to standards. Timely arrange staff to send water and medicine on the road, and set up tea supply points in various transfer stations, love stations and urban harbors, equipped with first-aid medicine boxes for heatstroke prevention.
According to the plan, the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Department has also set up a leading group for heatstroke prevention and cooling during high temperature, which is managed by sections, and the deputy directors in charge are responsible for supervising the implementation of various measures for heatstroke prevention and cooling in each district. Every day, each grass-roots department is on duty by a director, and each transfer station arranges a manager to be on duty, carefully counting the number of people before and after work, and immediately reporting to the leaders in charge in case of emergencies and emergencies to ensure timely and proper handling.
Sweating like rain, Taizhou players prepare for the provincial games
Losing weight has become the most devilish training for players.
For Taizhou athletes who are preparing for the provincial games, they are still sweating in the training room without air conditioning or even under the scorching sun this summer.
"There are still two months before the provincial games, so the athletes in our sports school have no holidays this summer." The relevant person in charge of the city sports school said.
At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, the temperature in the weightlifting hall of the city sports school exceeded 40 degrees Celsius. More than a dozen athletes are doing strength training in the museum. Most of the male athletes are shirtless, while the clothes on the female athletes have already been soaked with sweat.
An athlete told reporters that they had been training for half an hour in this weightlifting gym, which is similar to a sauna. During the interval of training, athletes will run outside the stadium from time to time to get some air. "If you stay in such a stuffy museum all the time, it is easy to get heatstroke, so you must constantly come out for air."
For some judo athletes, losing weight is more painful than exercising in the sun. In order to achieve the effect of losing weight quickly, these athletes have to wear thermal underwear and airtight coats for training in sauna days.
"Before every competition, you have to go through the process of losing weight." Jian Cao, head coach of the city judo team, said that if it’s fine in spring and autumn, once it’s summer, losing weight will become the devil’s training for the players. "Do you think about it, what does it feel like to train the players in thermal underwear on such a hot day? More enjoyable than a sauna! "
"Really, after training every day, we are all like fishing out of the water." An athlete said with a smile.
In fact, not only the judo team athletes need to lose weight, but also many athletes in wrestling, boxing and Sanda need to lose weight before the game.
The relevant person in charge of the municipal sports school said that with the approach of the provincial sports meeting, Taizhou athletes have a growing sense of urgency to prepare for the provincial sports meeting. "This summer, all sports teams in our sports school basically practice at least twice a day. No matter how hot the weather is, everyone insists, and the training time is at least 6 hours a day. Some sports teams also practice at night."
Zoo animals
Enter the "summer mode"
In hot weather, the animals in the city zoo are also undergoing "baking inspection". Install air conditioners and electric fans for animals, let them take a shower, take a cold bath, and set up a sunshade net … The administrators have come up with many ways to relieve summer heat and quench their thirst for them.
Tigers, bears and other wild animals are the animals most afraid of heat in the park. These days, the breeders also take special care of them. In addition to giving them a shower, they also add Rendan to the meat they feed to prevent them from being upset and hurting themselves at high temperature. At the same time, ice cubes will be added to the "private swimming pool" of tigers and bears every day, so that the beasts can enjoy the unique summer cold.
In the panda’s "home" in the zoo, two air conditioners have been installed for a long time, and they have been on every day for these two days. Red pandas are just like people. In hot weather, they will be depressed and too lazy to walk, and they will ignore anyone who teases them. "As long as the temperature exceeds 27 C, the air conditioner will automatically turn on." A keeper of the city zoo said that the cool environment made the little pandas feel much better. When they saw the keeper, they would take the initiative to come and say hello.
In some animal residential areas, managers have built arbor for animals to rest and avoid the suffering of roasting; Some pens also put ice cubes in them to let the animals touch and cool down. "As long as we can think of cooling facilities, we have installed them in place." The breeder said.
The diet structure of animals has not changed much during the summer, but fruit is an essential food to cool down and quench their thirst, especially watermelon, which is widely welcomed by animals.
Around 1 pm is the hottest time every day. As usual, the breeders opened the food warehouse, where hundreds of kilograms of watermelons were piled up. "Don’t look at such a big pile, the animals can eat fiercely. In about two or three days, these melons will be wiped out by them."
With that, the keepers picked up several big watermelons, cut them into many small pieces and fed them to the animals one by one. When several camels saw the watermelon held by the breeder, they were so happy that they jumped on all fours. After grabbing a piece of watermelon, they even ate the skin.
