South China is facing the challenge of heavy rainfall, and sandstorms hit northwest Xinjiang
With the deepening of spring, Jiangnan, South China and other places once again ushered in the test of heavy rainfall. According to the latest news from the Central Meteorological Observatory, in the next three days, these areas will be hit by heavy rainfall and strong convection, and local areas may face a serious risk of heavy rain disasters. At the same time, Xinjiang, Gansu and other places in the northwest region have also been hit by sand and dust weather, which has brought great inconvenience to local residents and tourists.
Heavy rainfall is coming, and South China and Jiangnan are waiting for it
Yesterday, heavy to heavy rain has occurred in the central and eastern coastal areas of Guangdong, and even heavy rain has fallen locally, accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall and thunderstorms and strong winds. This round of rainfall has brought a lot of pressure to the local flood control work. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, in the next three days, Jiangnan, South China and other places will still face the test of heavy rainfall and strong convection.
Specifically, from the 27th to the 30th, there will be heavy rainfall in Jiangnan, South China and the eastern part of Southwest China, with heavy rain in some areas, and even heavy rain may occur locally. During this period, there will be short-term heavy precipitation in southeastern Hubei, central and southern Hunan, central and southern Jiangxi, western and southern Fujian, central and eastern Guizhou, northeast Guangxi, northern and central and eastern Guangdong, with maximum hourly rainfall of 30-50 mm, and even more than 60 mm locally.
The Central Meteorological Observatory has issued a blue warning for severe convective weather, reminding the general public to pay close attention to weather changes and take precautionary measures. Experts recommend that during periods of heavy rainfall and strong convective weather, try to avoid going out, especially not going to dangerous areas such as mountains and rivers to avoid accidents.
Sandstorms are raging, affecting northwest Xinjiang
At the same time, Xinjiang, Gansu and other places in the northwest region have also been hit by sand and dust weather. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, from April 27 to 28, there will be sand or floating dust weather in eastern and southern Xinjiang, northwest Qinghai, most of Ningxia, central and western Gansu, and western Inner Mongolia, among which sandstorms or strong sandstorms may occur in eastern and southern Xinjiang and parts of western Inner Mongolia.
This round of sand and dust weather will have a great impact on local traffic, urban operations and tourism. In dusty weather, visibility is greatly reduced and air quality deteriorates, posing a threat to citizens' travel and health. Therefore, experts advise the public to minimize outdoor activities and wear protective measures such as masks when going out.
In addition, sand and dust weather may also have an impact on local agricultural production. Farmers need to pay close attention to weather changes and take timely countermeasures to reduce the damage of sand and dust weather to crops.
Disaster prevention and mitigation requires the participation of the whole people
In the face of the threat of natural disasters such as heavy rainfall and sand and dust weather, disaster prevention and mitigation work is particularly important. This requires not only the active response and effective guidance of government departments, but also the active participation and cooperation of the general public.
First of all, the public should pay close attention to the weather forecast and warning information, understand the weather changes, and take preventive measures. During heavy rainfall and strong convective weather, try to avoid going out to ensure your own safety.
Secondly, the public should actively participate in disaster prevention and mitigation work in the community and units. In the event of a disaster, we will actively cooperate with the government and relevant departments to carry out rescue and recovery work, and jointly maintain social stability and order.
Finally, citizens should also improve their awareness and ability to prevent and mitigate disasters. Through study and practice, students will master some basic knowledge and skills of disaster prevention and mitigation, and improve their self-protection ability.
In short, in the face of the threat of natural disasters, we need to respond to them with the participation of all people. Only in this way can we minimize the losses and impacts caused by disasters and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
Pro tip: Take precautions and stay safe
In view of the weather conditions in the next three days, experts from the Central Meteorological Observatory suggest that the general public and relevant departments take the following precautionary measures:
Pay close attention to weather forecasts and early warning information, and keep abreast of weather changes;
During heavy rainfall and strong convective weather, try to avoid going out to ensure your own safety;
Carry protective equipment such as rain gear when going out, and pay attention to traffic safety;
strengthen the construction and management of urban drainage facilities to ensure smooth drainage;
Do a good job in the inspection and monitoring of geological hazards, and take timely countermeasures;
In dusty weather, minimize outdoor activities and wear masks when going out.
Strengthen disaster prevention and mitigation in agricultural production and reduce the damage caused by disasters to crops.
Let us work together to meet the challenges of natural disasters and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
