Greetings hivers and friends πŸ’•.

It appears November is running so fast, and not like October that crawled to the end. Or was I the only one that noted it? I don’t think, because this weekend is bringing to an end another #hivelearners featured content week 243, edition 3. It appears this week flew and am liking this vibe considering the year end celebration πŸ˜€,

And talking about the season we are in now being the topic of discussion. I can tell you that the Heat is very alarming. Practically everyone is feeling the heat, and the worst being that the supply of electricity has also worsened, making the situation a very serious one for people. A suffering season without solution.

I have come to know for sometimes now that this time of the year usually will always be hot πŸ₯΅ because for long now it seemed that the weather system has kept changing from time to time, causing a shift in the sun ⛅️ position. Or that the environment where living in, is not being maintained like before due to pollution and chemical discharges into the sea 🌊.

At this time of the year, the weather sometimes will usually be slightly crisp, dry and continually bring a bit of chill that will stay for few minutes because of how the winter ❄️ is gradually approaching. But once the crisp , dry and chill disappears, the β€œheat weave” will heat back at you. This is a very serious issue many are facing and don’t have solution to it because of lack of constant power supply.

In Lagos, Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ where I live, power supply is shared because the Ikeja Plant city electricity management board has been shared and divided into β€œBands”. Band A, B, C, And D. The Band A can still get up to 24/hour light because those are the Rich People and some Commercials , Industries , Banks. This is where the Power Supply Management makes their money πŸ’° with high rate billing. If you live around Band β€œA” and poor, you are then in a hot πŸ₯΅ soup 🍲. Haha πŸ˜†.

Band β€œB” where I fall into, gets about 15 - 19 hours of light in 24 hours. These are the ones closer to Band β€œA”. But since beginning of November, electricity has not been regular which I see as a general issue due to equipment problem. And this usually happens every year, especially in this very the same time. This is the issue of incompetence. How then can we manage the heat wave 🌊?

The Band β€œC” and β€œD” are supplied power maybe 5 hours every day under 24 hours. People who live around this environment is complaining very seriously. Business is even a no go area because how will they cope? Gas ⛽️ is not for the poor again in Nigeria.

So, the problem with the heat wave is what we have to manage on our own. But how? Usually at this time of the year I can not do without cold πŸ₯Ά water from the refrigerator. So I make sure to drink lots of cold water, carrying my water flask when am on the field working. I can also do with chilled soda πŸ₯€ once in a while after checking on what effects cold water πŸ’¦ has on the bone πŸ–. I make showering

However, some states here in Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ now might not be suffering from heat wave 🌊, especially the northern side of Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ like Jos, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna and others because they are by the rock areas and has lots of unbuilt landmass .

In conclusion, we have different weather all year round, so every season comes with its own weather. The problem is when any of these weathers becomes very intense. The rain β˜”οΈ, the heat πŸ₯΅and the winter ❄️. And even as change is constantly changing things, the world 🌍 keeps evolving, the weather changes will also not be left out.

This is my response to the #hivelearners featured content for week 243, edition 03.

Thanks for visiting and reading friends 😍
