People living in and around Japan’s capital have been asked to cut back on their use of electricity.
Japan is experiencing a heatwave, after its rainy season ended early for the first time in decades.
It’s led to a surge in the use of air conditioners – and Tokyo is warning of power shortages.

Many dads will say to their kids close the fridge you’re wasting electricity
Leaving the fridge open uses electricity twice, since the fridge pumps hot air back into the house and heat transfer is extremely inefficient by nature.
Blame Putin.
No

The policy of non-aligned is useful
What has been the highest temperatures there this year?
53*
Thank you. That is high!
@Loyi Kyong He is trolling you, there is no way it is 53°C in Japan…
@D R They probably mean somewhere like Dubai (which did hit 50C IIRC fairly recently), not Japan
@ D R and @ Denis. Thanks! 😀
Saya pernah ke jepang dan suhu musim panas di tokyo lebih panas dari jakarta dan itu membuat saya kaget😅
Heat island effect caused by urban agglomeration. These cement forests can generate more heat than deserts.
Death for Japan
it’s really good that the historical and current pollution main actors feel the consequences of their actions.

But Africa is extremely cold ❄
Finland, too? That’s strange.
@kalima Fatty yes I have some friends in SA told me it’s very cold there right now
@Thuja yeah is true but am not leaving in SA am leaving in Gambia 🇬🇲
LOL japan is seeing the consequences of being aligned with the US now HeH? Freaking funny
Your brain is melting if you think what you said makes any sense at all.
But you do not, you are just paid 15 rubles every time you make an ineffective post that everyone laughs at.
In winter Japan was stuck in the snow. In summer heat is burning them. Isn’t Japan situated on earth ???
Their fault for sanctioning Russia.
I believe this is a common practice during summers but this time, they got a heat wave and an earthquake hit their power plant
Biden at it again.
What, your trying to tell me its hot, during the summer….
Well I never new that…
Must be climate change and nothing to do with summer 😂😂
Thanks for giving us the stooge for the right wing lie machine perspective. Always amusing and pathetic.
It doesn’t have much to do with the summer, the people themselves said it isn’t that hot normally, you genius-it is due to the “atmospheric pressure system” that is causing the extreme weather (i.e. heatwawe) which has to do with global warming
Their master US should give them Oil since they are “allies”.
Better to be humble with the humiliated
than to share spoils with delicious ones.
US need japan to be nuclear meat shield. That would be getting hotter.
But don’t worry japan would be one of the country that has contribute to slow down climate change because of their birthrate crisis.
Here in Somalia. It’s always 29c and we get along just fine.
We are used to it.
Thankfully our weather system is dry and not humid.
Plus it’s always hot if you go through months of cold then months of hot the hot feels really hot.
1:15 It’s kinda cute seeing them trying to cool themselves off. 😆 The Japanese are very smart. I’m sure they’ll find more solutions in the future to tackle the heat and the problems that come with it.
The rainy season was over two weeks early so typical summer temperatures are two weeks early. No electricity blackouts whatsoever. What’s news?
By the way, the coming week high is forecast at 36 Celsius.
Oh my goodness.
Turn on the AC hikkikomoris

We are the indigenous Amazigh people of North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia Libya and others country) suffer from racism and identity theft, which is embodied in the repressive Arabization practiced by the ruling Arab dictatorial regimes. Amazigh is the historical identity of North Africa, but the Arab dictatorial regimes are working to make it outside the framework of everything that is happening in this region by coercive Arabization. The abuse of power and the employment of islamique religion. What creates a soil unsuitable for democracy and coexistence between peoples to confront human problems such as the environment and poverty . Media and educational incitement to consider Arabism and Islam as the and sublime identity imposed by law, creates an identity crisis that fuels ethnic and religious extremism and produces, as the world is experiencing, thousands of terrorists who strike inside and outside the borders, not to mention the death of thousands of immigrants fleeing poverty and injustice. We call upon the countries that love freedom, peace and justice from Canada to Israel to America to Germany to Australia and the Netherlands. Effective assistance in breaking the siege imposed by the Arab regimes on the Amazigh peoples of North Africa has reached the point of banning Amazigh personal names and banning the Amazigh language in administration and courts. Associations and jurists interested in the Amazigh issue have what they present as evidence to consider the actions of Arab nationalists in North Africa amounting to war crimes against humanity.
American puppets. I have no sympathy for them. Glad Mr. Putin just signed some energy documents to make their lives more difficult 😂🤣
When you sanction your own energy supplier.
🤷♂️😁😜
Earthquake hit their power plant
