Heat wave hits parts of North America, breaking high temperature records

The National Weather Service (NWS) said parts of Washington, Oregon, California and other states are under excessive heat warnings as temperatures rise sharply over the weekend and next week.

On Monday , the highest temperature in Leeton, British Columbia, Canada reached 47.9 degrees Celsius , breaking the historical temperature record .

Due to the high temperatures, roads in North America have cracked and hundreds of people have died from the heat. Clare Nullis, a spokesperson for the WMO, said : "For five days or more, temperatures may reach 45 degrees Celsius every day . "

In such extremely "hot" weather, some cooling products, beach swimsuits, sandals, sun protection products, etc. have experienced a surge in sales and demand has skyrocketed.

The popularity of fans and other cooling appliances has soared by 5,000%, and they are sold out everywhere.

In an electrical appliance store in Seattle, Washington, a long line of more than ten people lined up early to buy these products. According to investigations, portable air conditioners and fans in some local stores in the United States have been sold out .

At the same time, due to the continued hot weather, fans, air conditioners and other electrical appliances in Canada have been sold out everywhere . Many consumers have visited multiple home appliance retailers but found that "a fan is hard to come by". Even online searches all show "sold out".

From Google Trends, we can see that the popularity of fans has soared, and the related search volume has reached 5000% , and the demand is very strong. According to a report by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2019, only 44% of households in Seattle are equipped with air conditioners, which is also the reason for the surge in demand for fans, a convenient cooling appliance.

A "shopping deliveryman" who uses a mobile phone app to buy goods for citizens said that the number of customers placing orders for fans has increased significantly in recent days, with some people ordering three at a time .

In addition, swimsuits, sandals, sun protection products, etc. also saw a peak in demand and a surge in sales.

In addition to products that can provide cooling, in hot weather, people in North America are more eager to take off their clothes and shoes, put on swimsuits and sandals, and go to the beach or the seaside to enjoy a temporary coolness . The sales of swimsuits and sandals have increased significantly.

It is reported that Teva and Dansko, two footwear brands, said that the sales of sandals have soared , with their sales in June increasing by 30%, and with the recent sharp increase in sales, the inventory for July and August is now insufficient . In the past 30 days, the popularity of swimsuits has also been very high, and the popularity of related products has soared to 4050%.

At the same time, under the scorching sun and strong ultraviolet rays, sun protection products such as sun protection clothing, sun umbrellas, sun hats , etc. are also a type of product that has been in high demand recently.

The high temperature weather in North America is likely to continue for some time. Sellers can start with these types of products, seize this consumption trend, and welcome the golden period of sales in the hot summer season!
