　　The southern rainfall is continuous, wide, and strong

　　Experts call attention to the "superimposition effect"

　　On the 13th, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a yellow warning of heavy rain.

The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that there will be more rain in the south in the coming week.

Starting from the 14th, the rain belt will gradually compress to the south. It is expected that there will be moderate to heavy rains in the central and northern parts of the Yangtze River, and heavy rains locally.

　　Chen Tao, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that the current round of rainfall has a certain relationship with the adjustment of atmospheric circulation.

The current position of the subtropical high is significantly souther than that of the previous period. Its marginal warm and humid air currents are comparable to the mid-latitude cold air, and they continue to converge in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The weather characteristics are similar to those of Meiyu.

　　Experts said that this large-scale rainfall process not only affected the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but also the rainfall in Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places.

　　"The forces of cold and warm air have caused the rain belt to move slowly, coupled with abundant water vapor, unstable convection, and sufficient energy. Local short-term heavy rainfall has obvious characteristics." Chen Tao said that from 11 to 12, local areas appeared in Yicheng, Hubei and Haiyan, Zhejiang. Extraordinarily heavy rain, extreme rainfall occurred at local sites, which was relatively abnormal compared to the same period in normal years.

　　It is estimated that during this rainfall process, the cumulative rainfall in some areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can reach 100 to 200 mm, and the local area may exceed 300 mm.

From 16 to 18, there will be a new round of rainfall process in Jianghan, Jianghuai and northern Jiangnan, which will have a certain "superimposed effect" with this process.

　　Experts reminded that mountainous areas should pay attention to the risks of mountain torrents and geological disasters caused by heavy rainfall; at the same time, the water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is currently at a high level, and the water level in the Taihu Lake Basin is over-alarm. In particular, it is necessary to prevent flooding risks of small and medium-sized rivers caused by continuous heavy rainfall; Pay attention to the latest rainstorm warning and weather disaster risk impact forecast, focus on understanding urban waterlogging and road water related information, and evacuate in time or avoid going to areas with high incidence of geological disasters.
