Forecasts from the Meteorological Department show that there will still be heavy rain in parts of central and western Hubei, northwestern Hunan, Chongqing, and southern Sichuan.

The four policemen send out together! The south meets the test of "rainstorm + high temperature"

　　Although the South has suffered from rain “wheel wars” before, the rain did not mean to stop. Not only that, with the opening of the “three volts”, some areas will usher in high temperatures.

　　On the evening of the 16th, four warnings were posted on the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory.

　　At 18:00 on the 16th, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue blue warnings for rainstorms and yellow warnings for high temperatures. The Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued meteorological warnings for orange flash flood disasters. The Ministry of Natural Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued meteorological hazard warnings for geological hazards.

　　It is estimated that from July 20th to July 20th 20th, the western Huanghuai, northern and eastern Jianghuai, central and western Hubei, northwestern Hunan, Chongqing, southern Sichuan, northwestern Hebei, northwestern Shanxi, northwestern Yunnan, southeastern Tibet There are heavy rainstorms in some parts of the country.

　　Among them, southwestern Hubei and northeastern Chongqing have local heavy rain (100-200 mm); some of these areas are accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall (the maximum hourly rainfall is 30-50 mm, and the local area can exceed 70 mm), Locally there are strong convective weather such as thunderstorms, strong winds or hail.

　　In addition, hot weather will also appear in many places.

　　It is estimated that during the day on July 17, central and southern Jiangnan, most of southern China, southeastern Inner Mongolia, southwest of Heilongjiang, western Jilin, southern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang Basin will have high temperatures above 35°C. Among them, Fujian in the south Some areas in central and southern China, central and southern Jiangxi, southeastern Hunan, northern Guangdong, and southwestern Guangxi have a temperature of 37 to 39°C, and localities can reach above 40°C.

　　The meteorological department reminded that workers in outdoor or high temperature conditions should take necessary protective measures.

On the afternoon of July 14, along the river polder in Poyang County, Jiangxi Province, officers and soldiers of a brigade from the 72nd Army of the Army in Jiangxi's anti-flood rescue were carrying sand and gravel inside the polder embankment against the scorching sun to strengthen the dam.

The water level of Poyang Lake is slowly receding, and the Yellow River has entered a flood-prone period

　　At present, flood risk is still the focus of attention.

　　On the morning of the 16th, the Ministry of Water Resources reported the latest flood situation. At present, the water level from the Jianli to Datong Rivers in the main stream of the Yangtze River and the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are slowly receding, but the water level of Taihu Lake has slightly increased.

　　It is estimated that in the next 3 days, the water level of the main stream of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake will slowly rise and then rise again; however, the water level of Taihu Lake may exceed the guaranteed water level;

　　At the same time, entering the second half of July, the Yellow River also entered a flood-prone period.

　　The Yellow River Water Resources Commission quoted relevant sources as saying that the current flood control situation in the Yangtze River and Taihu Basin in China is still grim. It is expected that the rain belt will be lifted northward in the later period. Regional floods may occur in northern rivers such as the middle reaches of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. Focus on the first stage.

　　According to meteorological forecasts, this year's flood season, China's overall climatic conditions are biased, extreme weather and climate events are more, and the overall precipitation is spatial distribution of "more north and south, less in the middle", waterlogging is more important than drought. In this year's flood season, the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Weihe River, and the Yellow River's Xiaohua have more inflows, and large regional floods may occur. However, the regional drought in midsummer may be heavier than normal, and the task of flood and drought prevention is very difficult.

　　Facing the complicated and severe flood control situation, the Yellow River Water Resources Commission said that according to the deployment of the Ministry of Water Resources, flood control has been regarded as the most important central task at present, and various defense measures have been strengthened in a targeted manner.

When can the heavy rain stop?

　　According to data from the Central Meteorological Observatory, on July 6-15, a total of 50-200 mm of rainfall occurred in parts of the eastern southwestern region, southern Huanghuai, southern Jianghuai, Jianghan, central and northern Jiangnan, and northwestern Guangxi. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River The area is 300 to 500 millimeters; the rainfall in most of the above areas is 1 to 2 times more than the same period of the normal year, and more than 3 times more local.

　　In addition, since June, the rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin has been 410.4 millimeters, which is 48.3% more than that in the same period of the previous year, the most in the same period in history since 1961.

　　The "wheel war" of rainfall has a serious impact on the production and life of people in parts of the south. Therefore, the question that people are most concerned about is: When can the heavy rain in the south stop?

　　According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, from the 17th to the 19th, the eastern part of the southwestern region, southern Huanghuai, southern Jianghan, Jianghuai, northern Jiangnan and other places will still have a strong precipitation process. There are heavy rains in the above areas, and heavy rains in some areas.

　　After July 20, the rain area moved northward, and the heavy precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River tended to end.

　　However, from the 20th to the 23rd, heavy rains and local heavy rains are still expected in the eastern Sichuan Basin, southeastern northwestern region, western Jianghan, Huanghuai, and Jianghuai. Around the 25th, there will be significant precipitation in the Sichuan Basin, eastern Jianghan, Jianghuai and northern Jiangnan. (Finish)
