Meteorological experts: Accumulated precipitation in many places exceeded April historical records
Ma Xuejian, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that since April, the subtropical high pressure has been stronger than the same period of the year, which is conducive to the transport of water vapor from the South China Sea and the Bay of Bengal to the southern region. At the same time, the plateau trough and the southern branch system are active, resulting in frequent heavy precipitation processes in the southern region. The duration of precipitation is relatively long. In addition, the temperature in Jiangnan, South China and other places is significantly higher than the same period in normal years. The atmosphere is rich in water content and high in unstable energy, resulting in strong convection and high rainfall intensity. The cumulative precipitation in many places has exceeded the historical record for April.
The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that from the 21st to the 22nd, there will still be heavy precipitation in southern and eastern Jiangnan, central and eastern and southern South China, and there will be local heavy rain accompanied by strong convective weather such as thunderstorms, strong winds or hail. On the 23rd, the rainfall in South China will weaken significantly, but there will still be heavy to heavy rain in some coastal areas of southern South China. In addition, around the 25th, there will be a heavy rainfall process in Guizhou, Jiangnan, South China and other places.
Ma Xueqian reminded that in the next few days, there will be many heavy precipitation processes in southern China, strong local rain, and may be accompanied by wind and hail. The public needs to pay attention to the forecast and warning information issued by the local meteorological department in a timely manner and reduce going out during periods of heavy precipitation. Avoid staying in low-lying areas such as mountain streams and rivers, and pay attention to protection against rain and lightning, and guard against secondary disaster risks such as flash floods, landslides, and debris flows. Relevant departments should pay attention to timely drainage of low-lying areas in cities, reinforce outdoor facilities, and prevent strong winds from threatening the safety of temporary structures, aerial work equipment, personnel, and shipping.
