Recently, with the advent of the plum rainy season, heavy rainfall has frequently occurred in many places in the eastern countries, and one after another heavy rains have been menacing, which has brought great impact on the production and life of local residents, and has also brought great pressure to flood prevention and disaster relief work. In order to prevent and effectively respond to this extreme weather in advance, the Central Meteorological Observatory has issued an orange warning for heavy rain and a yellow warning for severe convective weather, reminding relevant departments and the general public to take precautions and reduce unnecessary losses.
1. Orange warning for heavy rain
Recently, under the influence of typhoons and subtropical highs, there has been continuous heavy rainfall in the eastern and southern parts of the eastern countries, and there have been torrential rains or even heavy rainstorms in localized areas. In order to prevent the possible adverse effects of this extreme weather in advance, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning for heavy rain in a timely manner, and it is expected that in the coming period, some areas of Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places will have heavy to heavy rain weather, of which the rainfall in some areas will even exceed 100 mm.
For such weather forecasts, relevant departments and the general public need to attach great importance to them, take effective measures, and do a good job of prevention. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the rain situation, promptly issue all kinds of early warning information, and remind the areas and people who may be affected by disasters to do a good job of prevention. It is necessary to strengthen the inspection and maintenance of the urban drainage system to ensure that rainwater can be quickly discharged and reduce the occurrence of urban waterlogging. For some farmland and fish ponds that are prone to flooding, it is also necessary to strengthen drainage and protection work to ensure the safety of crops and fish.
2. Yellow warning for severe convective weather
In addition to heavy rainfall, there have been strong convective weather in some places recently, accompanied by extreme weather such as thunder and lightning, strong winds and hail, which has brought certain adverse effects to local residents and crops. In order to deal with this weather in a timely manner, the Central Meteorological Observatory has also issued a yellow warning for severe convective weather, reminding friends in relevant areas to take precautions.
It is understood that due to the combined influence of tropical cyclones and cold air, in the coming period, some areas of Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places will have thunderstorms or hail weather of more than 8 levels, of which some areas will even reach more than 10 winds.
For such weather forecasts, we must pay enough attention and do a good job of prevention. Friends who work outdoors should pay attention to personal safety, stop work in time, and move to a safe place to avoid rain and lightning. All transportation departments should strengthen the monitoring and guidance of road conditions, and take traffic control measures in a timely manner according to the actual weather conditions to ensure the safety and smooth flow of road traffic. For some fragile buildings and facilities, it is also necessary to strengthen protection to avoid damage caused by high winds and hail.
3. How to effectively deal with extreme weather
In the face of heavy rain and strong convective weather, it is the responsibility of each of us to take precautions and reduce unnecessary losses. It is necessary to raise the awareness of meteorological disaster prevention, pay attention to weather forecasts, keep abreast of possible extreme weather, and make psychological and material preparations. It is necessary to strengthen the awareness of self-protection, avoid outdoor activities when extreme weather comes, and ensure the safety of people and property.
Relevant departments should also strengthen disaster prevention and mitigation work and improve their ability to respond to emergencies. It is necessary to strengthen meteorological monitoring and early warning work, improve the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasts, and provide timely and accurate meteorological services for authorities at all levels and the general public. It is necessary to strengthen the construction and maintenance of urban infrastructure, especially urban drainage systems and flood control facilities, to ensure that when heavy rain comes, it can effectively deal with disasters such as urban waterlogging and flash floods.
It is also necessary to strengthen the protection of farmland and fish ponds, guide farmers to drain water scientifically, plant crops rationally, and reduce the adverse impact of heavy rains on farmland. It is also necessary to strengthen the popularization of agricultural insurance and provide more guarantees for the production and livelihood of peasant friends.
epilogue
The occurrence of extreme weather has had a certain impact on social production and people's lives, and has also brought certain challenges to the work of authorities at all levels and relevant departments. Each of us should enhance our sense of social responsibility, actively participate in disaster prevention and mitigation work, and build a safer and more harmonious environment for our cities and communities.
It is also hoped that relevant departments can strengthen scientific research on extreme weather, improve the monitoring and early warning capabilities of meteorological disasters, and provide more comprehensive and timely meteorological services for the public. I believe that with the joint efforts of the whole society, we will be able to effectively cope with all kinds of extreme weather, reduce disaster losses, and achieve sustainable economic and social development.
