"Zhengzhou has entered a state of first-level combat readiness for special natural disasters" is false
The official Weibo of the Propaganda Department of the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee issued a message in the early morning of the 21st that on July 20, the Internet reported that "Zhengzhou has entered a state of first-level combat readiness for a special natural disaster", which was verified to be untrue.
Why does Henan's heavy precipitation weather last so long? Authoritative interpretation
According to Xinhuanet, Zhang Ning, chief forecaster of the Henan Meteorological Observatory, summarized the five characteristics of the precipitation process: long duration, large accumulated rainfall, wide range of heavy rainfall, concentrated periods of heavy rainfall, and extreme.
Beginning on July 17, large-scale heavy precipitation weather occurred in the western and central western regions of Henan Province for four consecutive days, and the heavy precipitation will continue.
There are a total of 4,098 rain gauge stations in the province with precipitation exceeding 50 mm, 1923 with more than 100 mm, and 606 with more than 250 mm.
In response to the heavy rainfall, Zhang Ning said that the western Pacific subtropical high and the continental high remained stable in the Sea of Japan and northwestern China, respectively, blocking the movement of the upstream system, causing the low-value system of the westerly zone to grow in the North China and Huanghuai regions. Time is maintained.
Affected by the deep easterly jet and stable low vortex shear, combined with the strong convergence and uplifting effect of the special topography of the Taihang and Funiu Mountains in Henan Province on the easterly airflow, the heavy precipitation centers are mainly distributed in the western and northwestern regions of Henan Province. The mountain area is stable and less moving, causing long-term precipitation in Henan Province.
