Why is this heavy rain in Zhengzhou the strongest in history and the best in the world?
0 (Tuesday) from 16:00 to 17:00 pm, the rainfall in Zhengzhou reached 201.9 mm in one hour, breaking the single hour rainfall record of 2,418 national meteorological stations in mainland China!
China meteorological regulations stipulate that rain with a precipitation of more than 50 mm in 24 hours is called "storm", 100-250 mm is "storm", and more than 250 mm is called "storm".
and subdivided to one hour, 16 mm of precipitation is rainstorm, and more than 20 mm is called short-term heavy rainfall.
00mm What is the concept? Within an hour, 20 cm of water fell from the entire land.
However, the water in the ground area will not be flat and even. The water flows to the lower part and converges to a slightly lower part, forming waist-deep water immediately!
This heavy rain is equivalent to Zhengzhou's precipitation in one hour last year. It took more than half a year of precipitation in one day (457.5mm). It is a rare disaster anywhere.
Previously, the 1-hour precipitation record of national meteorological stations in mainland China was 168.3mm in Maoming, Guangdong on July 2, 2002. The entire 1-hour historical record of China is 214.8mm in Penghu, Taiwan, which is all rainfall caused by strong typhoons.
Looking at the world, this is also the biggest record of strong rain in large and medium-sized cities around the world.
The seventh national population census, Zhengzhou has a permanent population of 12.6 million, of which the urban area has a population of 7.655 million, which is a megacity in the world.
As of July 6, the number of motor vehicles registered in Zhengzhou City was 4.9 million. Many vehicles suffered heavy losses during this heavy rain.
For a big city, this is a complete and substantial record-breaking event.Under such rare and extreme rainfall, Zhengzhou is no longer a joke of "sea-looking model", but it constitutes a real disaster.
Authoritative interpretation: Why does the heavy rainfall weather in Henan last for so long
Chief forecaster of Henan Provincial Meteorological Observatory Zhang Ning summarized the five characteristics of this precipitation process: has a long duration, a large accumulated rainfall, a wide range of heavy rainfall, concentrated periods of heavy rainfall, and extreme.
html Starting from July 17, large-scale heavy precipitation weather occurred in western and central and western Henan Province for four consecutive days, and heavy precipitation will continue. There are 4,098 rainfall stations in the province with precipitation exceeding 50 mm, 1,923 of them with precipitation exceeding 100 mm, and 606 of them with precipitation exceeding 250 mm.
In response to the reasons for this heavy precipitation weather, Zhang Ning said that the subtropical high pressure and continental high pressure in the Western Pacific Ocean remained stably in the Sea of Japan and the northwest of my country respectively, blocking the movement of the upstream system and causing the low-value system of the westerly wind belt to be maintained in North China and the Huanghuai region for a long time. Affected by the deep east wind rapids and stable low vortex shear, combined with the strong convergence and lifting effect of the special terrain in Taihang Mountains and Funiu Mountains in Henan Province on the eastern airflow, the heavy precipitation center is mainly distributed in the mountains along the western and northwestern Henan Province, which has caused long-term precipitation in Henan Province.
Zhang Ning said that it is expected that this heavy rainfall will last until the night of the 21st. The concentrated areas of heavy rainfall will still be in the northwest Henan and central Henan, with precipitation reaching 100 to 250 mm and local 300 to 400 mm. From the 22nd to the 26th, there was no obvious large-scale heavy rainfall in Henan Province, and there were many scattered thunderstorms in the province.
