China News Service, Guangzhou, June 23 (Reporter Wang Jian) ​​The reporter learned from the Guangdong Provincial Meteorological Bureau on the 23rd that the province's "Dragon Boat Water" rainstorm this year continued until June 21, and this year's "Dragon Boat Water" statistical period is May. From 21st to June 21st, the province's average precipitation was 514.5 mm, 54% more than the same period in history, and the third most since the province has meteorological records.

　　According to the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau, during the "Dragon Boat Water" period, there were heavy rains in districts and counties every day, including 26 days of heavy rain and 12 days of heavy rain.

The spatial distribution of "Dragon Boat Water" is seriously uneven, showing an abnormal trend of "more in the north and less in the south". The main precipitation areas are highly concentrated in cities and counties in northern Guangdong.

　　According to meteorological monitoring, during the "Dragon Boat Water" period, Shaoguan and Qingyuan recorded an average rainfall of 847.2 mm and 845.8 mm respectively (1.9 times and 1.3 times more than the same period in history), which both refreshed local historical records. Among them, Damai Mountain in Liannan County The town recorded the maximum accumulated rainfall of 1689.2 mm, and Xinjiang Town, Wengyuan County recorded 1652.7 mm.

　　In the later period of the "Dragon Boat Water", the province also experienced a long-term large-scale heavy rainfall process, which caused river basin floods, large-scale urban and rural waterlogging and serious geological disasters.

　　Meteorological experts said that from June 13 to 21, large-scale heavy precipitation occurred in Guangdong for 9 consecutive days.

This round of precipitation has the characteristics of "long precipitation time, large accumulated rainfall, overlapping rainstorm areas, and superposition of multiple disasters".

Among them, from the 14th and from the 17th to the 21st, there were heavy rainstorms in cities and counties on the 6th.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau said that the continuous heavy rainfall in Guangdong and surrounding provinces for many days has led to high bottom water and large upstream water flow.

Serious urban and rural waterlogging occurred in cities and counties in northern Guangdong, and geological disasters such as landslides and mudslides occurred in mountainous cities and counties.

Multiple disasters are superimposed, resulting in severe disasters in the province.

Heavy rain caused severe waterlogging in Shaoguan, and rescuers were searching for trapped people.

　　According to the analysis of the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau, the pre-flood season this year has basically ended, and the province will be dominated by sunny and hot weather with thunderstorms in the next few days.

It is less likely to be directly affected by typhoons and landfall.

July entered the active period of offshore typhoons, and attention should be paid to high temperature weather and typhoons in the post-flood season and their impact on the province.

　　The Guangdong Provincial Meteorological Bureau reminded that although the "Dragon Boat Water" has ended, the upstream water is lagging behind and the soil water content is highly saturated. It is necessary to continue to do a good job in the prevention of river basin floods, urban and rural waterlogging and geological disasters.

　　In addition, Guangdong will enter the post-flood season. It is necessary to pay attention to the information on the formation and impact of typhoons. It is advisable to make preparations for typhoon prevention this year.
