Why is there so much rain and snow recently?
Since February, my country has encountered two rounds of large-scale rain and snow, not only with strong precipitation intensity, but also with a wide range of influence.
Why is there a lot of rain and snow in my country recently?
"This is due to the frequent occurrence of cold air recently, coupled with the relatively active south branch trough, the southwest warm and humid air flow in the front continues to transport water vapor to the north, providing sufficient water vapor conditions for precipitation." Wang Weiyue said.
Looking ahead, the rainy and snowy weather in the north is expected to stop this weekend, but there are still many rainy weather in the south, and the temperature is low. It is necessary to be alert to the adverse impact of low temperature and freezing weather on traffic.
From February 20th to 22nd, the eastern part of the Southwest, Jianghan, Jianghuai and most of the south of the country will experience rain and snow again, so you need to pay attention.
