Due to the impact of intense and especially intense heat combined with low humidity in the air, there is a high risk of fires and explosions in residential areas due to increased electricity demand and the risk of forest fires. In addition, hot weather can also cause dehydration, exhaustion, and heat stroke for the human body when exposed to high temperatures for a long time.
Note that the forecast temperature in hot weather bulletins and the actual perceived temperature outside can differ from 2-4 degrees Celsius, and may even be higher depending on the condition of the buffer surface such as concrete and asphalt roads.
The meteorological agency predicts that on April 17, widespread hot weather in the Northern and North Central regions will end; hot weather in the remaining areas is likely to gradually subside.
