To say the hottest word on the Internet in the past two days
It must be "Capricorn".
It is the strongest autumn typhoon to make landfall in the past decade
That destructive power is no joke
Someone might say
It is all the coastal areas that are affected
What does it have to do with Yunnan?
Wrong!
According to the Municipal Meteorological Observatory's "Important Weather News" (No. 19 of 2024), it is expected that from September 8 to 9, under the influence of the tropical depression after the landfall of Typhoon No. 11 "Capricorn" this year, the city's heavy rain, heavy to heavy rain in the central and southern parts (Yuanjiang County, Xinping County), accompanied by strong winds, thunder, hail, short-term heavy precipitation, the cumulative rainfall in the process is 50~80 mm, and the local 90~120 mm; The heaviest precipitation period is from 8 o'clock on the 8th to 12 o'clock on the 9th, and the maximum rainfall intensity per hour will reach 30~50 mm.

Tips for safe driving in rainy weather
I don't panic when I have the bottom in my heart
01Turn off "Auto Start & Stop"
In rainy days, it is recommended to turn off the "automatic start and stop" function in advance. Many models have an automatic start-stop function, but if the rain is heavier and the rainfall is more, the car is easy to turn off, and the car itself automatically starts and stops, it is easy to damage the engine.
02Pull the distance and slow down
Under normal circumstances, when the driving speed is 100 km/h, the distance between the front and rear of the vehicle is more than 100 meters, and the distance between the left and right is more than 1.5 meters, and when the speed is 70 kilometers per hour, the distance between the front and rear of the vehicle is more than 70 meters, and the distance between the left and right is more than 1.2 meters.
In case of rain, snow, fog and other weather, the driving speed needs to be reduced, and the safety distance should be extended. In the process of driving, it is necessary to avoid sudden braking, causing unnecessary traffic accidents.
03Use lights correctly
When driving in rainy weather, please reduce your speed, turn on your headlights, fog lights, marker lights, etc., and do not use high beams.
04Pay attention to window defogging
On rainy days, please clear the fog from the car window in time. Because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, and the windows are easy to fog up, it is recommended that you turn on the cold air to blow the front and rear windshields, and try to avoid wiping the windows during driving, so as not to cause unnecessary dangers.
05 Avoid big cars and be careful of accidents
On rainy days, the line of sight is not clear, if you encounter mud trucks, large trucks, trucks with tows, engineering vehicles and other "behemoths", small cars should pay attention to avoid accidents.
06 Calmly deal with wheel slippage
Don't panic when a tire slips. If the front wheel is slipping, the steering wheel is played in the opposite direction of the slippage, and if the rear wheel is slipping, the steering wheel is played in the direction of the skidding. When driving on the highway without ESP, try to avoid pressing the front wheel on one side to the waterlogged area.
07 Slow down first and hit the direction slowly
Reduce your speed in advance before cornering to avoid sudden braking that causes the vehicle to slide and roll over. Slowly turn the steering wheel to complete the vehicle turn.
08 Beware of lightning strikes in thunderstorms
When there is a thunderstorm, try to avoid using electronic products such as mobile phones, do not use the radio in the car, and some old models of external antennas will have a conductive effect, please also put it away in advance before the arrival of the thunderstorm to avoid conduction.
09Do not stop suddenly
The most taboo thing about driving in rainy days is that the car in front suddenly stops, and it is very easy to have an accident when the vision is not clear. If you do need to stop, pull over, then turn on your tail lights and set up a safety warning sign.
10. Stop and wait for the heavy rain
When it's raining so hard that you can't get the wipers clear, the best thing to do is to pull over and park in a safe place (except for highways!). Wait until the rain is a little lighter before leaving, so that you can avoid a lot of accidents.
11. Be careful when passing through waterlogged roads
When encountering waterlogged road sections, it is generally not recommended to drive strongly. When you have to pass as a last resort, please observe the traffic of the car in front, and the water accumulation should not be stronger than half a wheel, because the exhaust pipe of the car is at this height, and forcing it through is easy to cause water to enter the exhaust pipe, so that the engine will be seriously damaged.
If the vehicle has stalled in the water, please pay close attention to the water level, and when the water overflows into the vehicle and has a tendency to continue to rise, you must leave the vehicle and walk to higher ground.
Note: Do not start the vehicle twice when wading in water and turning off the ignition.
More than torrential rain
And its good "cp"
Wind
The same should not be taken lightly!
Close the windows
When driving a motor vehicle on a windy day, close the windows tightly to prevent sand, dust, and debris from entering the car, so as not to affect the breathing of the driver or affect the driver's vision. In windy weather, drivers should pay close attention to the road conditions and hold the steering wheel tightly.
Keep your distance between vehicles
In windy weather, you should not be too close to the car, keep enough distance between the cars, and reserve time and space for yourself to deal with emergencies. In such bad weather, dust affects the line of sight, and it is easy to cause a rear-end accident if you don't pay attention to it.
Slow down to prevent offset
Pay attention to the direction of the wind in windy weather, slow down the car, and hold the steering wheel tightly to prevent the vehicle from drifting. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the lateral stability of the vehicle, minimize overtaking, pay attention to large curves and sudden changes in wind direction when driving against the wind, and also prevent the wind resistance from suddenly becoming smaller and the speed of the vehicle increasing suddenly.
Watch out for non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians
The wind blows dust, and pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are wrapped tightly in order to avoid the dust, and the role of the horn is greatly reduced. The stability of non-motorized vehicles deteriorates, and there is a possibility of intruding into the motorway, so when encountering pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles on the road, if you want to overtake, you must increase the safety distance and slow down.
Be mindful of parking as well
Trees are prone to collapse or fall in high winds. Therefore, do not slip sideways, do not park at the gate of the fence, stay away from billboards, windows and trees, etc., to avoid falling objects from high altitudes and injuring vehicles or people. If you can, it's best to park your car in a garage or underground parking lot on dusty and windy days.
In the end, that's it
Slow words are the first, and stable words are the first
Go out and walk slowly
Let's wait for the weather to shine together
