"Parrot" is coming in a violent situation or may be hit by a strong wind of level 12
In the past, the southern region has experienced the strongest rainfall since this year. The precipitation in many places has exceeded the historical extreme value. It has not fully recovered from the impact of this round of precipitation. Some regions have to face the test of typhoon "parrot".
The Central Meteorological Observatory issued its first typhoon warning this year at 6 am on June 13. The center of typhoon "Parrot" is located on the northern sea surface of the South China Sea about 280 kilometers southeast of Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province at 11:00 on the 13th. It is expected that "Parrot" will land on the coast of Taishan to Zhanjiang in Guangdong on the morning of the 14th. Reach tropical storm level or severe tropical storm level.
Affected by it, from the night of the 13th to the 14th, there will be 6 to 8 strong winds in the central and northern waters of the South China Sea, the Qiongzhou Strait, and the central and western coast of Guangdong. The nearby sea areas and areas passing by the "Parrot" center have 9 to 10 strong winds. Reached 11-12. Some areas in southwestern Guangdong, southeastern Guangxi, and northeastern Hainan Island have heavy rain, local heavy rain, or heavy rain (80-120 mm).
From the forecast point of view, typhoon Parrot will bring heavy rainfall to the coastal area of western Guangdong located on the west side of the typhoon center before landing, and it may bring stormwater to the Pearl River Estuary, and corresponding preventive measures should be taken in time.

Short time and weak "parrot" may ease regional drought
As the first typhoon to land in my country this year, what are the characteristics of the "parrot"? What impact will it bring?
"According to statistics, the average date of the first typhoon to land in China every year is June 29. If the "parrot" landed on the 14th, it will be about half a month earlier than the average date." Typhoon and Marine Meteorological Forecast Center, China Meteorological Administration Chief forecaster Zhang Ling said.
Zhang Ling analyzed that "Parrot" has the characteristics of short life time, weak strength and asymmetric structure.
Typhoon "Parrot" was officially numbered from June 12 to its landing, weakening, and dissipation. The entire process is expected to be only about 3 days, and the entire life history is short. In terms of intensity, the intensity can reach tropical storm level to strong tropical storm level, which is relatively weak.
In addition, its typhoon structure has obvious asymmetry. The main deep convection area is not located near the center of the typhoon, but on the southwest side of the center. At the same time, it also causes the heavy precipitation area that may be mainly concentrated on the west side of the typhoon path.
Zhang Ling explained that in the past month, precipitation in southern Guangxi, southern Guangxi, and Hainan Island was significantly less, 30% to 70% less than in the same period of the previous year; Over the same period in history, it was 1 to 4°C higher; moderate to severe meteorological drought has also occurred in the above-mentioned areas.
She analyzed that the rain brought by typhoon Parrot just covered the above areas, which is more beneficial to alleviate the high temperature and drought. However, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of disasters such as floods in urban and rural areas, torrents, debris flows, and landslides that may be caused by heavy rainfall in parts of western Guangdong.
