Is artificial rainfall reduction feasible?, Rain will continue until July, Shanghai will have local heavy rain tomorrow morning

Release time:Jun 26, 2024 15:43 PM

The rain in Shanghai can't be stopped. From 0:00 to 17:00 today, heavy rain fell across the city, and some areas experienced torrential rain. The Shanghai Meteorological Observatory predicts that there will still be torrential rain in Shanghai tomorrow morning, and the rain will continue until July.

As of press time, the yellow warning for thunderstorms in Shanghai is still in effect. It is expected that from tonight to tomorrow morning, Shanghai will be cloudy with showers or thunderstorms, with local rainfall reaching torrential rain, which will also affect the morning commute. The rain will weaken during the day tomorrow, but will get heavier at night.

Before July 2, due to the overall little change in the position and intensity of the subtropical high pressure, the center of heavy rainfall was located in the vicinity of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but the plum rain belt changed from an east-west distribution to a northeast-southwest distribution. After that, the subtropical high pressure extended westward and northward, and the center of heavy rainfall moved northward to near the Huai River.

From June 28, affected by the swing of the plum rain belt, Shanghai will have more frequent marginal showers or thunderstorms, and precipitation will no longer be as continuous as it has been recently. On July 3, as the subtropical high pressure moves northward, Shanghai will have afternoon thunderstorms, with the highest temperature approaching the 35℃ high temperature line.

The rain keeps falling, is it feasible to artificially reduce rainfall? Regarding artificial rainfall reduction, Li Ning, a weather analyst at China Weather, said there are two main methods.

One method is to carry out artificial rainfall enhancement operations in the upstream area of ​​the destination before the clouds carrying water vapor reach the destination, so that the rain will fall in advance. When the day when rain is originally expected comes, the water vapor has been consumed and naturally there will be no rain.

Another method is to "hold back" the rain. Since water vapor generally needs to attach to condensation nuclei to condense into water droplets, the condensation nuclei will be over-seeded in the cloud layer, so that the condensation nuclei content in the precipitation cloud reaches 3 to 5 times the precipitation standard, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of water that can be "allocated" to each condensation nucleus, and it is impossible to form large enough water droplets to fall to the ground. However, this method can only work well for precipitation with a small range and weak intensity.

"For the large rainfall belt thousands of kilometers long on the north side of the subtropical high pressure, such high-intensity and long-duration precipitation cannot be intervened by human power," Li Ning analyzed.

Since we cannot interfere with nature, when faced with heavy rain and high temperatures, we must take relevant response measures, take active precautions, and reduce the losses caused by natural disasters.

Using candles, electric heating appliances, etc. to heat and melt lacquer wax, sugar, etc., and then pressing seals into various shapes, the sales of lacquer seals on online platforms are quite impressive and popular among young people. However, it is currently difficult to define which type of product this type of product belongs to, and there is no corresponding product standard. Many products are untraceable and have questionable quality, and there are hidden dangers such as burns, punctures to the human body, electric leakage, and misleading consumers to confuse lacquer wax with food. Especially for minors under the age of 14, one of the main consumer groups of lacquer seals, these safety risks may multiply. The Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation today exposed a batch of fire paint seal products that have been found to have significant safety hazards through risk monitoring, and issued consumer warnings. In just over a minute, it may cause burns. Place the lit candle at the bottom of the candlestick, and then

Helping the steel value chain achieve decarbonization, the two "world's largest" companies hold hands in Shanghai | Cooperation | Global

Baowu Group, the world's largest steel company, and Rio Tinto, the world's largest iron ore producer, have signed a memorandum of cooperation in Shanghai. The two sides will jointly explore a series of new projects in China and Australia, aimed at helping the steel industry value chain achieve decarbonization. According to the memorandum of cooperation, both parties will research, construct, and demonstrate an experimental scale electric melting furnace at the steel plant of Baowu Group, realizing the direct reduction iron technology for the production of medium and low-grade ores for low-carbon steel production. Simultaneously optimizing the pellet production technology of Australian ore to provide support for its use as a raw material for low-carbon vertical furnace production of direct reduced iron; Expand the development of Baowu Group's hydrogen rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace technology, which can significantly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the blast furnace process. Both sides will also jointly study the production of green and low-carbon ironmaking machines in Western Australia

On May 30th, multiple airlines and ticket booking platforms revealed that the fuel surcharge for June will be lowered for the third time this year. Starting from 0:00 on June 5th, the fuel surcharge for domestic air tickets will be adjusted to 20 yuan per adult passenger for flights below 800 kilometers, and 30 yuan per adult passenger for flights above 800 kilometers. Compared to the current fuel surcharge, it will be reduced by 10 yuan and 30 yuan respectively. For travelers who purchase "Sui Xin Fei" and secondary cards, travel costs have further decreased. However, after a period of diving after May Day, the price of regular air tickets will rise again in June. According to information from Spring Airlines and other sources, the lowest discount for most domestic routes in early June was between 1.7% and 20%. However, as the Dragon Boat Festival and summer season approach, starting from June 10th

As the rain belt presses southward, Shanghai has been swept into a precipitation zone since early this morning. A short thunderstorm will drive the temperature down. According to the forecast of Shanghai center Meteorological Observatory, the highest temperature in Shencheng today is only 25 ℃, lower than yesterday's 26.9 ℃, and the body feels cool. Remember to add a thin coat to your old and weak friends. With just a few fingers, there are less than two days left until the 2023 college entrance examination. At present, what everyone is most concerned about may be the weather for this year's college entrance examination. The Central Meteorological Observatory stated that during this year's college entrance examination, although it was rainy in Jiangnan and South China, the rainfall was generally not severe, and there was no large-scale heavy rainfall weather; Although there are high temperatures rising and large areas of heat, fortunately there is no sustained large-scale hot weather. Looking at the weather in Shanghai again, this round of rainfall can reach heavy rain levels, which may have some impact on travel. Fortunately, tomorrow will come to an end. During the Shanghai college entrance examination period

"Throw the anti heat bottom!" "The return capsule hangs vertically!" "The landing reverse thrust engine ignites!" At 6:33 am today, the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft's return capsule successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site. The astronauts Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and Zhang Lu who carried out the flight mission were in good physical condition, and the Shenzhou 15 manned flight mission was a complete success. In this mission, the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation once again took on the responsibility of protecting astronauts and ensuring their safe return to the ground. During the return mission of the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft, Shanghai Aerospace 804 Institute undertook multiple products, including landing search beacons, voice processing equipment, USB responders, image processing equipment, and remote control and telemetry equipment. Among them, the landing search beacon and voice processing equipment are located in the spacecraft's
