Among the top ten (national stations) in the national temperature rankings, Chongqing Beibei continued to top the temperature rankings.
As of 16:00 yesterday, the highest temperature in Beibei, Chongqing had risen to 45°C, refreshing the local temperature extreme again!
At the same time, according to @Central Meteorological Observatory, this is also the highest temperature record in this round of high temperature national observatory.
Since July 1, the precipitation in Jiangnan, Guizhou, Chongqing and other places has been abnormally low, and the average temperature has been significantly high, resulting in meteorological drought in some areas.

Electricity for science
Subway, bus turn on "power saving" mode
As the hot weather continues, in order to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power grid, Chengdu Metro and Chengdu Bus have taken action one after another. The subway has closed the station advertising light boxes and unnecessary equipment and facilities, and the station has turned on the "power saving" mode; buses have increased the use of long-lasting electric vehicles. Frequency, reduce daytime charging and other methods, reduce power consumption.
In the past two days, citizens who take the subway may have noticed that the station lighting seems to be different than usual.
It is understood that Chengdu Metro actively responded to the call for energy saving and power saving. On the premise of not affecting the safe travel of passengers and the passenger service of the station, the lighting in the public areas of the line network station has turned on the "power saving" mode.
At the same time, the subway station also closed the station advertising light boxes and unnecessary equipment and facilities to reduce the unnecessary electricity load and further save electricity.
Under the premise of meeting the daily travel needs of passengers, combined with the actual situation, by optimizing the setting of the target temperature of the train carriages, station halls and platforms of the entire subway network, energy can be saved scientifically and reasonably.
In addition, Chengdu Metro has optimized and adjusted the number of trains running during off-peak periods and other measures to reduce power consumption in light of the actual passenger flow.
After the adjustment, citizens and passengers can check the location of the train through the Chengdu Metro APP and arrange the itinerary in advance.
In terms of the use of public transport vehicles, Chengdu Public Transport Group increased the frequency of use of long-range electric vehicles, adjusted human resources and shift arrangements, strengthened night charging, reduced daytime charging, and avoided peak electricity consumption; increased the frequency of CNG vehicles and reduced vehicle charging. need.
In addition, Chengdu Public Transport Group also actively promotes electricity saving and off-peak electricity consumption, and strives to form a new trend in the whole society that everyone cares about electricity saving and always pays attention to electricity saving.
All outdoor advertising lighting turned off

When the LED street light is turned down, the power is reduced.
In August, after the city-managed road lighting facilities adopted measures for energy-saving renovation of street lights and adjustment of late-night power consumption, the daily electricity consumption was reduced by about 50,400 kWh compared with the previous one.
In addition, there are more than 1,900 landscape lighting facilities invested by the Chengdu government.
During normal management, landscape lighting is only lit on weekends and holidays, and is controlled by season and time period into weekday mode, festival mode and late-night mode.
