Tomorrow, June 30th (Thursday), the heat will be extremely hot, especially in eastern Japan, and the risk of heat stroke will increase.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is calling for power saving by issuing a “power supply and demand tight warning” to the TEPCO area because the power demand due to air conditioning will increase and the power supply and demand may become tight due to the influence of weekdays. (Especially from 15:00 to 18:00).

Since the use of air conditioners is indispensable, please use them properly and cooperate with other power saving such as lighting, TVs and monitors.

Early after the rainy season, be wary of heat stroke in the heat of midsummer

Over the weekend, the Baiu front will move northward away from Honshu, and the Japanese archipelago will be covered with the warm and moist air of midsummer. Since the heat continues early after the rainy season, the risk of heat stroke increases because the body is not accustomed to the heat yet.

The expected maximum temperature on Thursday, 30th tomorrow is 36 degrees Celsius in Tokyo and 37 degrees Celsius in Nagoya, which is a dangerous heat approaching human body temperature.

Power supply and demand may be tight

It is expected that the supply and demand of electricity will be tightened due to the significant increase in electricity demand in homes and businesses due to the rise in temperature, and the fact that the installed capacity (supply capacity) of power generation will continue to be lower than usual from this year to 2024 in Japan. ..

Especially on weekdays, the degree of tightness increases due to the large amount of electricity used by companies.

According to the power supply and demand forecast of the Energy forecast center of Weathernews, the peak power demand is expected to continue from early afternoon to around 17:00.

After noon, it seems that there will be a margin in supply and demand due to solar power generation, but since the amount of power that can be supplied will decrease in the evening, the reserve margin will be the smallest during the time period from 15:00 to 18:00.

If the balance between supply and demand of electric power is lost, stable supply of electric power will not be possible, and in the worst case, it will lead to a large-scale power outage. Electric power companies may also carry out rolling blackouts to prevent this.

Don’t hesitate to use the cooler

The heat wave could continue this weekend, and the tight electricity supply and demand could continue into Friday.

If you turn off the air conditioner to save electricity, the risk of heat stroke increases, so please do not overdo it and use the air conditioner properly. As a guide, adjust the room temperature to about 28 ° C. Please cooperate in other ways to save electricity, such as turning off the power of unused lighting equipment and TV monitors.

In addition, it is expected that this intense heat will subside next week, and it seems that the exit of the intense heat will finally be visible. However, it is forecast that it will be hot in the middle of summer again after the latter half of July, so it seems that it will be a summer that can not be taken care of.

You can see the situation outside the TEPCO area from the “Power Supply and Demand Forecast” posted on the Weathernews app and website.
