Hey, dear friends, it's a big day—the heat! Speaking of the great heat, it is the king of summer, so hot that people are addicted, and people can't wait to hide in the refrigerator. But this year's summer heat seems to have brought some different "gifts", that is, a series of rainstorms that are coming, extremely heavy rains, as if nature is using its unique way to add an unusual color to this hot summer.
The story of the great heat, the warmth in the rain
Let's talk about the heat first, it is the twelfth of the 24 solar terms, and it is also the last solar term of summer. In ancient times, people often said that "the small heat is not hot, but the big heat is in the middle of the day", which means that the summer season is in the middle of the dog days, which is the hottest time of the year. However, this year's summer heat seems to be a little more tender, with rain after rain, bringing coolness to the earth and bringing people a different feeling.
Imagine waking up in the morning and no longer the blinding sunlight outside the window, but a gray sky mixed with the occasional thunderclap. This rain is like the sky's affectionate confession to the earth, endless, and with a bit of eagerness. It tapped lightly on the window, as if whispering, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to take you away from the torment of this scorching heat." ”
Heavy rain hit, and all parts of the country responded
Okay, let's take a look at the weather forecast for these two days. From 08:00 on July 22 to 08:00 on the 23rd, hey, this rain is really not small! Hainan Island, southeastern Guangxi, southern Guangxi, friends in these places have to pay attention, heavy to heavy rain, and even heavy rain (100~200 mm) is waiting for you.
In particular, the western part of Hainan Island, the southern coastal areas of Guangxi, and the southern part of the Shandong Peninsula experienced particularly heavy rainfall. This rain is like the sky has opened countless faucets, pouring down, giving the earth a happy baptism.
Not only that, but the wind is not to be outdone. In the southern Xinjiang basin, the central and eastern part of Inner Mongolia, and the Liaodong Peninsula, the wind strength in these places can reach level 4~6, and some areas can even reach level 7 or above. In particular, there will be 8~10 thunderstorms and strong winds in the coastal waters of the Shandong Peninsula and some parts of the northern and central Yellow Seas, as if the sea is roaring, echoing the sky from afar.
The rain continued on the 23rd
Fast forward to July 23, and the rain is still unabated. Southern Heilongjiang, southern Jilin, northern Liaoning, these places also joined the ranks of the torrential rain. In particular, in eastern Gansu, central Shaanxi, and the northwest of the Sichuan Basin, some areas will usher in heavy rainfall, and the rain is like a pour, as if nature is telling its story.
And the situation at sea is also not to be underestimated. In most parts of the South China Sea, the Beibu Gulf, and the central and southern parts of the East China Sea, the wind strength in these sea areas will reach 6~8, or even higher. In particular, Typhoon Gemei is approaching our waters with strong winds and waves. In the sea near its center, the wind force can reach 12~15, and the gusts can reach an astonishing 16~17. It's not just the power of the wind, it's a demonstration of the power of nature.
The high temperature continues
At the same time, during the 22-23 period, the "scorching wave" in the central and eastern regions is expected to continue, and this surging high temperature not only tests the physiological limits of people, but also poses unprecedented pressure and challenges to the local energy supply network. In the face of such high temperatures, the public should pay special attention to heat stroke prevention and cooling, and take appropriate measures to protect their health and avoid the occurrence of heatstroke and other heat-related diseases.
Wisdom in agricultural proverbs, hope in the rain
Speaking of this rain, I have to mention the agricultural proverb left by our ancestors. For example, "the rain in the summer is like gold", which refers to the importance of rain in the summer season to the growth of crops. This rain is like the nectar of crops, which can moisten the land and promote the growth of crops. So, although the rain came violently, it was a timely rain for the farmer's uncle, bringing hope for a good harvest.
Conclusion: Warmth and tenacity in the rain
Well, having said all this, in fact, what I want to express most is that no matter how heavy and violent the rain is, we should keep a normal heart, feel its beauty, and cherish the coolness it brings. At the same time, take precautions to ensure the safety of yourself and others. After all, after a storm, there will always be a rainbow.
In this summer season, may we all be like this rain, with both a gentle side and a perseverance spirit. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can face them bravely and meet every challenge. Because only in this way can we go further and more steadily on the road of life.
