The reason is that the district has quite complex terrain divided by limestone mountains, thus creating a valley surrounded by high mountains, resulting in strong Foehn wind effect. In addition, the limestone geology makes it absorb more heat, causing the air to become dry and the temperature to rise.

Responding to the hot weather, the district has instructed localities to guide and encourage local residents to proactively prevent and minimise exposure to heat; popularise drowning prevention and control for students and people; and prevent the risk of explosions and fires in residential areas and forest fires. The district has also directed specialised departments and agencies to promote dissemination of ways to store water and use water economically and effectively.

Locals have been guided people to get water for irrigation and irrigation teams have been directed to bring water to areas where crops may be affected. Residents have also been encouraged to use nets to cover crops to protect themselves against sunlight, keep moisture for plants, and minimise the impacts of extreme heat.
