[Haichuan Tea House] The land of Bashu is a warm land

On August 16, Chongqing Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission and State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company jointly issued the "Emergency Notice on Expanding the Implementation Scope of Industrial Enterprises' Allowing Electricity to the People." The "Notice" stated that due to the impact of persistent high temperature weather, the city's electricity load continued to rise. When the generating units were running at full capacity and the delivery channels were all full, there was a large gap during peak hours. In order to ensure the safe and orderly supply of power and protect the basic needs of the people, a first-level plan for orderly power use has been launched. All power users included in the orderly power use plan must participate in the implementation (except for security loads) to provide power to the people. The time is from 0:00 on August 17 to 24:00 on August 24 (subsequent adjustments will be made in time according to temperature changes and supply and demand situations). The Paper confirmed the authenticity of the above documents from multiple local power system staff in Chongqing. The "Notice" also requires that all districts and counties (development zones) should immediately notify enterprises to make production adjustments to ensure the power consumption of security loads, and implement them quickly.

On August 18, the record for the highest temperature in Sichuan Province's history was broken, with the temperature in Xingwen, Yibin reaching 43.8°C. As of 16:00, the highest temperature in Jianyang, Chengdu, reached 41.9°C. Although not as hot as yesterday, it was still enough to make people sweat like rain. It has been sunny, hot and hot for many days in a row. People in Chengdu are looking forward to a rain to "relieve the fever". The good news is that tonight, the rain is coming. ； The bad news is that the rain will do little to cool things down. According to the latest forecast from the Chengdu Meteorological Observatory, there will be scattered showers or thunderstorms in Chengdu on the night of the 18th, and there will be heavy rain to heavy rain in some places in the west. Don’t think it’s cool when you see “rain”, the key word is “dispersion”. Such rainfall in the east and west can only temporarily appease the eagerness for rain, but it is impossible to rely on it to cool down. Many netizens had previously called for artificial rainfall enhancement, but at that time the conditions for artificial rainfall enhancement in Chengdu were not yet mature, and there were no clouds in the sky that could rain. So, does the appearance of scattered showers tonight mean conditions are ripe? The reporter learned that for Chengdu, which has not rained for a long time, the staff of the Chengdu Meteorological Bureau's Human Shadow Office must seize every opportunity. They are always in a state of emergency. Once the operating conditions are mature, they will immediately carry out artificial rainfall enhancement operations. However, the rain should fall and the high temperature should continue. The Chengdu Meteorological Observatory predicts that Chengdu will turn to cloudy mode in the next three days, with high temperatures continuing, with the highest temperature around 41°C.

If possible, go to the western mountains and stay for a few days. It should be cooler above 3,000 meters.
