The weather near the port of Japan was very hot, and the observatory recorded 36.1 degrees on Sunday (23rd), breaking the historical record of high temperatures in May.
In the hot summer, many citizens also hide in the air-conditioning to escape the heat. However, the former director of the Observatory, Lin Chaoying, has always insisted on not turning on the air-conditioning. He only turned on the USB fan when sleeping. He described "blowing to the head and shoulders and falling asleep in a gentle air current." .
Chang Linchao explained that there were four major factors that contributed to the hottest May of this year, including global warming, high-rise buildings in Hong Kong, and strong high-altitude anticyclones.
He also pointed out that Hong Kong's extreme high temperature is usually related to the fact that typhoons are located in the east of Taiwan and bring weak northerly winds to Hong Kong. However, without these factors this time, they described it as "relatively different", and considered it to be a proving that it has a greater relationship with climate change.
Lin Chaoying emphasized that the air conditioner is still not turned on, and a 15cm diameter USB fan is used to create cool breeze when sleeping.

Although May has not passed yet, the weather is already very hot and unbearable, and many people have to keep the air-conditioning on for a long time to cool off.
Lin Chaoying has always been known for not turning on the air conditioner. How would he respond under the hottest May sky?
Lin said in his Facebook page to "open the assessment", stressing that the air conditioner is still not turned on. When sleeping, he uses a 15cm diameter USB fan to create a cool breeze that blows to his head and shoulders.
Many netizens commented to appreciate his practice, and even called him "Buddha system to cool down."
Lin Chaoying pointed out to "Hong Kong 01" that he felt hard in the hot summer, and said bluntly that "you get used to it and you are fine."
He also praised that the USB fan is very durable and uses only 2.5 watts of electricity, which is far less than the 2,000 watts of an air conditioner, which is very energy-efficient; and "plugging in a urine bag is enough for one night."
Don’t guess, I don’t turn on the air conditioner. When I sleep, I use a 15 cm diameter USB fan to create a cool breeze, blowing it to my head and shoulders, and falling asleep in the gentle airflow.

In previous years, the hot weather in Hong Kong was mainly affected by tropical cyclones. Lin Chaoying explained why the hottest May day occurred this time.
He pointed out that the first is due to global warming in the general environment; while Hong Kong is urbanized, with dense high-rise buildings, and heat energy is stored in the urban area; and most people turn on air-conditioning, and the hot air released in disguise makes the city reheat.
In addition, this year's high-altitude anticyclone is particularly strong, "withstanding the cool air in the interior, it doesn't fall so hard."
Lin Chaoying also shared how to cool down households in the sub-house, saying that a large-diameter USB fan can be placed in the window to draw outdoor fresh air into the room; in addition, a "circulation fan" can be placed in the middle of the room to pull the air entering the room into the room. Inside, a low-power fan can be hung in the middle of the room, and there will be airflow in the room without feeling cramped.
