Introduction: On July 26, Typhoon "Gemei" hit the southeast coast again, setting off a heavy rainfall frenzy, and Fujian, Guangdong and other places are facing severe tests. On July 27, the impact of the typhoon spread to the inland, and Jiangxi, Hubei and other places were also hit by heavy rain. How can we respond to such extreme weather?
Typhoon "Gemei" is raging! The southeastern coastal region is facing a rain frenzy
On July 26, Typhoon Gemei made landfall on the mainland again, and the intensity and impact of this natural disaster were staggering. The arrival of the typhoon not only triggered massive rainfall, but also drowned the southeastern coastal areas in a frenzy of water vapor. Have you ever wondered what your home will become when a force of nature as big and violent as a typhoon hits you? The re-landfall of Typhoon "Gemei" is undoubtedly a severe test for the southeastern coastal areas.
Absolute intensity: The impact of Typhoon Gemei on rainfall in various places
The rainfall impact of this typhoon covered many important areas on the mainland, including northeast Henan, northern Shandong, southern and eastern Hebei, most of Liaoning, northeastern Inner Mongolia, most of Jilin, western Heilongjiang, eastern and western Zhejiang, east-central and south-central Jiangxi, eastern Guangdong, southeastern Hunan, southwestern coastal areas of Hainan Island, and most of Taiwan Island. Especially in the southern part of Taiwan Island, eastern Guangdong, most of Fujian, eastern Jiangxi and the southern coastal areas of Zhejiang, the rainfall brought by typhoons has reached the level of heavy rain. The coastal areas of central and northeastern Fujian and southern Zhejiang have even been hit by extremely heavy rainfall, with an astonishing 250 to 300 mm of accumulated rainfall.
The intensity of rainfall brought by the typhoon is so intense that there is also a short-term heavy precipitation phenomenon in some areas, with the maximum hourly rainfall exceeding 90 mm, and at the same time, strong convective weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds also follow. Such rainfall intensity has undoubtedly caused great distress to the lives of residents in these areas.
Going inland: Typhoon Gemei has had a profound impact on Jiangxi and Hubei
On July 27, Typhoon Gemei continued to advance inland and its influence expanded. On this day, the intensity of rainfall in Jiangxi and eastern Hubei further intensified, and eastern Tibet, western and northern Sichuan, northeastern and eastern coastal areas of Guangdong, coastal and western Fujian, most of Jiangxi, central and eastern Hubei, central and southern and northwestern Anhui, eastern Henan, western Shandong, eastern Hebei, eastern Jilin, western and southeastern Heilongjiang, and the southern coast of Taiwan Island all experienced heavy rain or torrential rain. In particular, the western part of Fujian, the central, eastern and northern parts of Jiangxi, the eastern part of Hubei, and the southern part of Anhui Province have reached the level of heavy rainfall, with a cumulative rainfall of up to 200 mm.
The impact of this heavy rainfall on these areas goes far beyond water volume, it also touches on agricultural production, transportation, and all aspects of daily life. Clearly, the effects of the typhoon have spread from the southeast coast to the wider interior.
Future Prospects: Long-term Impacts and Reflections on Typhoon Gemei
The impact of Typhoon Gemei is not only reflected in the current rainfall, but also in the long-term impact. In the face of such a strong natural disaster, we must seriously think: how can we improve our preparedness capabilities? How to effectively reduce the losses caused by natural disasters?
Do you also feel that in the face of such a violent natural disaster, our response is a bit stretched? Typhoon Gemei is not only a challenge to nature, but also a test of our human wisdom and ability to cope. Does the increasing frequency and intensity of typhoons also tell us that we should be more vigilant and prepared in the face of the forces of nature?
Let's think about and discuss how to deal with more extreme weather events like this that may occur in the future. What's your opinion? Do you think we are prepared enough for the challenges posed by the typhoon?
