China-Singapore Online Newsletter, July 6 (Reporter Li Shuzheng) Heavy rains hit Shencheng, and Shanghainese "ride the wind and waves". Early in the morning on the 6th, Shanghai issued the first yellow warning signal for heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds this year.
At the time of the Lunar New Year holiday, unlike the high-temperature heat waves that "steamed up and cooked down" in previous years, the temperature in Shencheng showed no signs of rebound under the "suppression" of heavy rain. The rain borrowed the wind, the wind helped the rain, and the downpour "joined together" with strong winds, which sent out an atmosphere that covered the sky.
On the morning of the same day, the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning signal for heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds, which became the first "three yellow" warnings in Shencheng this year. Chongming District once issued an orange warning signal for heavy rain. Official data show that from 0 to 12 o'clock that day, the northern part of Shencheng is generally down to heavy rain, and some heavy rains. There are several sites in Chongming where the rainfall exceeds 100 mm.
"With the three early warnings of wind, rain and lightning, I was also drowned as a'three yellow chickens.'" Shanghainese people who were hit by heavy rain in the morning peak couldn't help but "spit." "Riding a battery car is like driving a boat in the morning," Shanghai City Peng Yi joked: "I'm also a sister who rides the wind and waves." The home and family are also worried about the wind and rain. "The mushrooms on the walls of my house will come out again when the rain is so rainy." Is the second wave?"
The Meiyu in Shencheng this year seems to be particularly "dedicated" and the rainfall is staggering. The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said that from the flooding of June 1 to July 4 in Shanghai, seven heavy rains have occurred in Shencheng. The accumulated rainfall is significantly more than the average of the normal year, of which the urban area is more than 50%.
The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said that the Meiyu belt will remain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the next two days. Affected by it, Shanghai will still "ride the wind and waves" earlier this week. (Finish)
