The end of the rainy season was announced in various places on the 28th, and it became a fierce heat such as the 4th consecutive hot day in central Tokyo.

The temperature will rise further on the 29th, and record heat is expected in the Kanto region, reaching 40 degrees Celsius locally, but on the other hand, TEPCO's jurisdiction is still required to save as much electricity as possible.



We have summarized the points on how to achieve both heat stroke countermeasures and power saving.

The most hot days of the season at 100 locations nationwide

The Japan Meteorological Agency announced at 11:00 am on the 28th, "It seems that the rainy season has ended in northern Kyushu, Shikoku, the Chugoku region, Kinki, and Hokuriku."

This means that the rainy season has ended in areas other than Tohoku and Hokkaido, where there is no rainy season.

In addition, the temperature rises in various parts of eastern and western Japan, and the maximum daytime temperature is


38.7 degrees in Katsunuma, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture


, 37.9 degrees in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture


, 37.8 degrees in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture


, and 37.3 degrees in Hatoyama Town, Saitama Prefecture.


▽ 37.1 degrees in Toyama city ▽


35.1 degrees in the center of Tokyo, etc. It


was a hot day in various places.



In central Tokyo, it was the first time in June that it was the hottest day for four consecutive days, and of the 914 spots nationwide, the hottest day was 100, the highest number this season.

Will the temperature rise further tomorrow? Will Kanto reach 40 degrees Celsius?

On the 29th, there are many places where the high pressure will intensify and the temperature will rise further, and the maximum temperature is


expected to be 39 degrees Celsius in Maebashi City, Kofu City, Kumagaya City and Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture.


Locally it can reach 40 degrees Celsius, which can be record heat.



In addition


, ▽ Utsunomiya City, Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, 38 degrees


▽ Saitama City, Mito City, Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture, 37 degrees


▽ Central Tokyo, Nagoya City, 36 degrees, and


intense heat is expected.

On the other hand, the government announced on the 29th that it will continue the "Electricity Supply and Demand Tight Warning" within the jurisdiction of TEPCO.

Due to the tight supply and demand of electricity, we are seeking to save as much electricity as possible during the longer hours from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm.



How should we balance heat stroke measures and power saving?

Points on how to use the air conditioner

This is the point of how to use the air conditioner recommended by the clerk of the electronics retail store.

1. Use a circulator and a fan together

The first is to use a circulator or electric fan with the air conditioner.

It means that you can save electricity by efficiently circulating the cold air in the room without lowering the set temperature.

2. Close the curtain to block the sun

Next, when using the air conditioner during the day, it is said that the room can be effectively cooled by closing the curtain to block the sunlight.

3. Clean the filter

And it is important to clean the filter regularly to increase the cooling effect and reduce power consumption.

If you are using an air conditioner that does not have an automatic cleaning function, try to clean it once every two weeks.

4. Humidity control

In addition, since the risk of heat stroke increases when the humidity is high, it is said that controlling the humidity, such as installing a hygrometer, is an effective measure, especially for households with children and the elderly.
