How sometimes I don’t feel like getting up early in the morning and rushing into things! That would be to come up with some serious reason, for example, to “get sick”. By the way, what about the aktirovka outside the window? “Aktivka” - what does the word mean?
The weather is often changeable, and if you go somewhere, you should at least take a look at the thermometer. Probably such thoughts sometimes flash in every second person during the working week.
Attention, you don’t have to go to school!
In fact, the weather can really seriously make adjustments to daily plans. Previously, due to too cold outside temperature or strong wind, in the morning on television or radio they announced: “Attention, aktivka!”. What happened? This meant the abolition of classes in educational institutions due to extreme weather conditions.
This day was introduced so that the child avoided a long stay in the open air, especially not accompanied by adults. This is especially true for residents of the Yamal-Nenets, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and other relevant areas in Russia. More recently, for example, the following news was familiar in the winter: “Acting of Surgut - it is recommended that elementary school students stay at home until November 18.” There was even a schedule of announcements in the morning on radio and television about whether the day was active or not.
How many degrees does the day off begin: Aktivka Surgut
The announcement of such a day depended not only on the temperature, but also on the age of the children, as well as on the hydrometeorological conditions. Here is an example of aktivization by school classes:
- If the temperature is at -35 ° C or lower, or at -30 ° C the wind speed reaches 5 m / s or more, then students from grades 1 to 4 are exempted from classes.
- If the temperature is around -37 ° C and below, or at -32 ° C there is a wind speed of 5 m / s, then students from grades 5 to 8 are exempted from classes.
- If the temperature is around -40 ° C or lower, or at -35 ° C there is a wind speed of 5 m / s or more, then students from grades 9 to 11 (12) are exempted from classes.
This day, by the way, is becoming activated for students of 1-2 courses of a technical school or college.
Bad weather
Activation was also announced in difficult hydrometeorological periods:
- For example, in conditions of strong wind at an average speed of 15 to 20 meters per second or gusts of more than 25 meters per second.
- In the event of heavy rain with an amount of precipitation of 50 mm, an activated day was also announced for 12 hours.
- In addition, with heavy rain (rain), if the amount of precipitation was 30 mm per hour, lasting from 2 to 5 days, as well as in the case of continuous rain lasting more than 3 days, with the likelihood of further consequences for the territories.
In winter, hail with a diameter of 20 mm of any duration in time could be an occasion for such periods. Heavy snowfall for 12 hours, snowfall up to 150 mm or a long snowstorm with a general or low snowstorm and a visibility range of only 500 meters, with a wind speed of 15 meters per second.
How not to forget about adults?
History shows that the activated day was also determined for working people. By decree No. 365 “On working outdoors in the cold season” of December 23, 1958, the Council of Ministers of the Komi ASSR and the regional Council of Trade Unions set temperature limits for adults with active days. This document indicates that if the temperature is below -40 ° C at a wind speed of up to 2 m / s, then work in the open air is not carried out. The same thing happens in the following cases:
- at temperatures up to -35 ° - with wind amplification up to 5 m / s;
- at 6-10 m / s - up to -30 ° C;
- at 11-15 m / s - up to -20 ° C;
- at 16 m / s and more - up to -15 ° .
Some experienced professionals can easily determine the wind speed even “by eye”. So, if thin tree trunks sway, then the wind speed is approximately 8-11 m / s. If thick branches sway or the telegraph wire “buzzes”, then it is already 11-14 m / s and activation is expected (what such a word means, in fact, is understandable).
By the way, when working at an altitude of -30 ° C, if the wind speed is up to 5 m / s, or -25 ° C, if the wind speed is 6 m / s and above, it is necessary to cease operations, including on a support or roof . If the temperature is -30 ° C to -40 ° C, then the working day is reduced by an hour, and the periods of a break for warming go at the expense of working time. The administration of the enterprise can change the nature of the work, even without taking into account the qualifications of the worker in case of extreme weather conditions.
What to do in adverse weather conditions?
To date, the aktivka (what is and how to be with it, is already clear) is not officially announced. Announcements about it stopped on January 15, 2015. Classes in general education institutions should be held in any weather. But having learned the unfavorable forecast of the day, the parents of the children or their legal representatives have the right to decide for themselves whether to take the child to school, and even more to kindergarten.
To help make this decision, there are several degrees of adverse weather conditions that are reported during a weather forecast instead of an actuation:
- the first degree concerns students in grades 1-4;
- the second - 1-8 classes;
- the third - grades 1-11.
What you should pay attention to?
Especially during such days, you should pay attention to the children, their location and occupation. In the days of severe frosts, it is very important to observe safety measures. This means that without good reason, you should not go outside, go out of town, walk your pets.
Colds can last up to several weeks, and therefore it is recommended to have supplies of food, not to load unnecessarily an electrical network with connected electrical appliances. People living outside the city need to prepare possible sources of emergency power, especially monitor the health of heating appliances, stoves and fireplaces. In case of problems, you should contact the appropriate phones for help. In such weather, rescue hotlines operate around the clock, and they know firsthand what they are and what actions are needed.
