In recent days, the weather in most areas of Zunyi City has begun to warm up, and it has reached the rhythm of sunny songs, and the rainfall has also tended to be mild. Recently, the reporter learned from the Zunyi Meteorological Observatory that it is expected that in the flood season of 2024 (May to September), there will be regional and phased drought and flood disasters and extreme weather and climate in the city, which needs to be grasped with both flood prevention and high temperature and heat waves.
It is reported that the current El Niño event affecting the continental climate is in the decay period, and the El Niño event is expected to end in the summer. Under the background of El Niño decay year, the Municipal Meteorological Observatory predicts that the rainy season in Zunyi will start early this year, among them, the rainy season will enter before mid-April, and the rainy season will begin to enter the rainy concentration period in early May, and the local heavy precipitation will increase. The precipitation concentration period mainly occurred in mid-May, mid-early June, early mid-June to late June, mid-July, late August to mid-August. There is a greater possibility of extreme heavy precipitation in some periods, and the geological disasters of flash floods are more serious.
Accompanied by rainfall, it is expected that the number of high temperature (≥35°C) days in Zunyi in midsummer (July to August) will be higher than usual. Among them, from mid-July to mid-August, there is a high possibility of periodic high temperature weather in the Chishui River Valley and the northeast region.
Zunyi Meteorological Observatory reminded that drought and flood coexist in this year's flood season, and waterlogging is heavier than drought, and it is recommended that all localities and relevant departments such as emergency, water affairs, and natural resources need to strengthen the prevention and response to mountain floods and geological disasters, strengthen monitoring, early warning, and transfer and avoidance, and prevent the impact of windy weather on water operations or traffic. It is suggested that all localities and relevant departments of agriculture should strengthen guidance on agriculture in advance to avoid the adverse impact of agricultural meteorological disasters such as floods, waterlogging, drought, hail, high temperature and heat damage on agriculture.
