The continuous high temperature of up to 40℃ will hit Henan experts to remind them to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

  Zhengzhou, China, July 4 (Reporter Liu Peng) Just after several days of rain, the central Henan Province is about to start the "barbecue mode". The reporter learned from the meteorological department of the province on the 4 th that from the 5 th, Henan will encounter persistent high temperature weather with a maximum of over 40 C. Experts remind the public to do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling.

  On the same day, Gu Xiujie, chief forecaster of Henan Meteorological Observatory, introduced that on the 2nd and 3rd of this month, due to the combined influence of the subtropical high rising northward and the cold air moving southward in the north, heavy precipitation weather processes such as heavy rain and heavy rain in some counties and cities occurred in most parts of Henan Province, accompanied by multi-station short-term heavy precipitation and local thunderstorm and windy weather. At the end of this precipitation process, there will be a large-scale and persistent high temperature weather in Henan Province. From 5 to 10 days, the subtropical high is stable in the Yangtze River basin, and Henan Province is controlled by the mainland high-pressure ridge, with sunny weather and low humidity, which is conducive to radiation warming, and the ground here will be controlled by a strong heating mass. Therefore, from 5 to 10 days, there will be a continuous high temperature weather process of 36 to 38℃ in the north central part of Henan Province and 39 to 41℃ in some northern counties and cities.

  Gu Xiujie said that this high-temperature weather lasts for a long time and has great intensity. Please try to avoid outdoor activities during high-temperature periods, remind outdoor workers to do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, and remind relevant departments to pay attention to prevent fires caused by excessive electricity consumption and excessive power load.

  With regard to the impact of high temperature weather, Fangfang Wei, a senior engineer of Henan Meteorological Service Center, made a relevant prompt on the same day, saying that the north-central part of Henan Province will be controlled by dry heat for nearly a week from May 5 to 10, and if the outdoor sunlight is strong, the somatosensory temperature will reach or exceed 50℃. In this weather, if you are exposed to high temperature for a long time or do more intense physical labor, it will cause the disorder of body temperature regulation, leading to heatstroke and even heat stroke. Therefore, it is recommended that the public minimize outdoor activities from 10 am to 4 pm, especially the elderly, pregnant women and people with cardiovascular diseases, and strengthen protection.

  At the same time, if you drive around noon in high temperature, you should pay special attention to driving safety. Usually, when the solar radiation is strong and the temperature reaches about 40℃, the road surface temperature can rise to 70 degrees, and the gas inside the tire expands with heat and contracts with cold. If the tire pressure is too high, it will bring the risk of puncture. Therefore, remind the car to check the vehicle status such as tire pressure regularly to prevent fatigue driving. Also keep in mind that flammable and explosive materials are prohibited in the car, and don’t leave the elderly and children alone in the car.

  "In addition, this Friday will enter the summer solar term, as the saying goes ‘ Small summer heat, steaming and boiling ’ It can be said that it is the hottest time of the year. Therefore, we also remind everyone to be prepared for a protracted war at high temperature. We should pay attention to replenishing more water in our lives, eating some cool and summer food properly, ensuring enough sleep, and preparing some commonly used heatstroke prevention and cooling drugs when necessary. " Fangfang Wei said.
