How hot weather affects China's economy

Inner Mongolia rings high temperature orange alert. 25th, several travel Hohhot citizens umbrella sunshade. Xinhua News agency reporter Li Yunping, 24th 17 o'clock released this year, the first phase of the flood season, "High-temperature Heat stroke Weather Forecast", the Central Meteorological Observatory 25th to continue to release the high temperature orange alert: expected, 25th day, Hebei Large, Beijing and Tianjin, Shanxi large, Shandong department, eastern Shaanxi, Henan, northern Anhui, The highest temperature can reach 37 ℃ to 39 ℃ in the northwest of Jiangsu Province and east of south Xinjiang basin, and the local temperature can reach 40 ℃ in middle and south of Hebei, north of Henan, south of Shanxi, west of Shandong and east of southern Xinjiang basin.　　Economic experts believe that the heat has not yet caused a drought in the north, but the impact on the economic operation more harm than good.　　The effect of high temperature on the economy is more than good. Zhang Chengyao, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics at Cass, said that overall, the overall economic impact of rising temperatures will far outweigh the benefits.　　Dr. Linsen, of the Peking University School of Economics, said that if the hot weather continued, it would bring some negative effects on economic production and residents ' lives, and test the work of government departments.　　First of all, the continuous high temperature weather will make some fruits, vegetables and other agricultural crops directly affected, may affect the above agricultural product price changes, the residents daily life consumption impact. Second, the continued high temperature drive air-conditioning and other "summer heat" electrical appliances, increasing the electricity load of residents. Beijing's electricity load increased by 1.36 Million-kilowatt in three days, June 24, the largest electricity load in Beijing reached 11.84 Million-kilowatt, a new summer high, up 19.8% from a year earlier.　　The increase in household electricity load may lead to some restrictions on the use of electricity in industrial production in some cities where electricity is more tense. Third, the high temperature weather on the industrial production environment, especially the need for outdoor operations, directly affected by the impact of high temperature.　　On the one hand, it is possible to influence the progress and quality of engineering construction and production, on the other hand, the continuous high temperature may cause accident safety problems, which should be highly valued by relevant departments and production enterprises. In addition, continuous hot weather in the long run may affect the retail industry, the consumer demand has a negative impact. From the trend of the past years, the early days of the high temperature will have a good effect on some summer goods, but with the continuance of time, the high temperature not only consumes the people's physical strength, but also hit the public's consumption enthusiasm. However, the high temperature weather may promote the development of tourism.　　With the arrival of students summer vacation, hot weather may increase the choice of some residents to go out for summer travel, some of the Beijing suburban routes, seaside routes may appear upward trend of tourism.　　Finally, high temperature and humid weather, will make pollution, mildew, heat stroke, intestinal diseases and other meteorological Life index rise, the adverse impact on people's lives, health and epidemic prevention, health care, such as food hygiene and other departments of the work brought greater test. The drought has not yet formed. Researcher Liu Yuman, of the Institute of Agricultural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said persistent hot weather could produce fourAdverse effects.　　First, under the sun exposure, crops are prone to dry and even death, resulting in a decline in production. Second, the impact of high temperature on livestock production is also obvious. Animals are susceptible to "heat emergency" responses. Egg production of layers, milk production of cows will decrease.　　Animal growth and development can also be affected, the growth rate may slow down, meat production will be reduced. Third, the hot weather will accelerate the breeding of bacteria and viruses, causing the outbreak of certain diseases.　　In the feeding management, due to the hot weather, the worker's efficiency will be reduced, if the farmhouse is not timely cleaning, ventilation, not only easy to breed bacterial virus, and the accumulation of harmful gases, such as ammonia, which will bring about the growth and production of animals adversely affected. It is also important to note that high temperatures can easily lead to drought in crop-producing areas. Once the drought occurs, the consequences will be more serious.　　Earlier this year, China's Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other 8 provinces of winter wheat drought, only the Ministry of Agriculture at the beginning of February to allocate relief funds to reach 50 million yuan. However, he stressed that persistent heat, at least so far, did not form a drought, so there is no need for agriculture, especially food production has too much worry.　　Overall, to June 22, the country has harvested more than 320 million acres of wheat, more than summer wheat area of 91%, from the actual harvest and the Ministry of Agriculture farming Dispatch analysis, harvest total output can exceed 245 billion kg, will realize the first time since the founding of New China for six consecutive years of production increase. Individual industries will benefit from high temperatures Zhang Chengyao to reporters, but like all emergencies have the pros and cons of the impact of the same, the high temperature for some industries may bring production growth opportunities. For example, cooling products, including air-conditioning, fans, cooling potions, as well as mat, cold drinks and other daily necessities merchandise. In particular, air-conditioning, electric fans, due to the current country's home appliances to the countryside policy, sales are expected to continue to increase. Some summer resorts and coastal cities may also benefit from tourism and related industries.　　In addition, some members of the public may choose shopping malls as a place for summer cooling, which may lead to increased consumption.　　28th Cold air will be a large range south to ease the North high temperature Central meteorological station chief forecaster Helifu in an interview, said the 28th cold air will be a large range south, Huang Huai, Jianghuai, Hanjiang River in the vicinity of the high temperature actually to 28th to ease.　　Helifu said that the high temperature in the north affected by relatively strong cold air, the formation of precipitation weather, this high-temperature weather will remain for a few days. He said that in north China, especially in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, it is expected that two days after the Ming Dynasty, that is, number 25th, 26th, may maintain this hot weather. It is expected that after the number 27th, a weak cold air south, some areas such as north-central North China will have rain, the area of hot weather will be eased. and a wide range of cold air down to 28th after, it means that the yellow-Huai, Jianghuai, Hanjiang River in the vicinity of the high temperature in fact, to 28th before the slowand。 Helifu said that by then, the Yangtze River will be the middle and lower reaches of the real typical meaning of the Meiyu, a large range of rain belt will be maintained in the Yangtze River in this area.　　In the north, the cold air is relatively active and will not appear in the hot weather. Helifu said the northern high temperatures would not turn into extreme weather events. Extreme weather events, he said, mean that the weather will bring more serious disaster consequences. The Central Meteorological Observatory 24th issued a high temperature orange alert rather than the highest ——— red alert, mainly taking into account the impact of the high temperature and the duration of the weather.
