text: Japan goment don ask pipo for Tokyo and di surrounding area to use less electricity on Monday, as e warn say supplies go dey strained as di country dey face heatwave. Di Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry expect say demand for power to go dey "severe" dis afternoon local time. E say make pipo switch off unnecessary lights but still use air condition to avoid heatstroke. For weeks, officials don dey warn of a power crunch as temperatures dey rise. Over di weekend, di temperature for central Tokyo rise above 35C, while di city of Isesaki, wey dey northwest of di capital,  record 40.2C. Dat na di  highest temperature dem don eva record in June for Japan. June mark di start of summer in Japan, wen temperatures typically dey stay below 30C during di month. For statement on Sunday, di ministry say excess generating capacity for electricity dey expected to drop to 3.7% on Monday afternoon in Tokyo and eight surrounding prefectures/districts.

Di goment ask pipo to turn off all unnecessary lights for three hours from 15:00 Tokyo time (07:00 BST) while dem go "properly use air condition and drink plenti water (hydrating) during hot hours".
