What are the reasons for this extreme heavy rainfall?

According to the news released by Guangdong Weather Network on September 8th, the reasons for this round of heavy rainfall are: 1. The slow movement of the residual vortex of Typhoon "Haikui" caused the spiral rain belt to stagnate and move less; 2. The Pearl River Delta region is located in the convergence area of southwest and southeast airflow on the east side of the vortex, with good conditions for upper level divergence and continuous generation of heavy rainfall cloud clusters; 3. Rainbands have a train effect, with heavy rainfall passing through from beginning to end.

Peng Shiqiu, a researcher at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Marine Environment of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with the South China Daily that the so-called "train effect" is that blossoming convective clouds, like train carriages passing through the same place, continue to bring rain to this area. From a human perspective, the clouds in the sky seem to have never moved and have been raining. In fact, clouds are constantly moving, one moving away and the next continuously replenishing.

Peng Shiqiu said that rainfall intensity can also be understood as the intensity of convective cells. Some convective cells may have high rainfall intensity, but it will finish in 10 minutes or half an hour without any new convective cells added, so the overall rainfall may not be large. This is the showers and thunderstorms we usually experience. After adding the "train effect", even if the intensity of a single convective cell is not strong or the duration is not long, because many convective cells continuously affect the same area, the rainfall will be relatively large.

According to the news previously released by Guangdong Weather Network, from 17:00 on September 7 to 10:00 on September 8, the average rainfall in Guangdong Province was 53.1mm, 79 towns and streets recorded a extremely heavy rainstorm of more than 250mm, and Donghu Street in Luohu District, Shenzhen recorded a maximum rainfall of 519.2mm and a maximum hourly rainfall of 116.8mm. The towns and streets with the highest rainfall in other cities include Chang'an Town in Dongguan at 375.6 millimeters, Shiwan Town Street in Chancheng District, Foshan at 372.1 millimeters, Nancun Town in Panyu District, Guangzhou at 371.6 millimeters, and Jinli Town in Gaoyao District, Zhaoqing at 286.3 millimeters. It is expected that heavy rainfall will continue in the Pearl River Delta and western Guangdong from August to September. Attention should be paid to preventing disasters such as waterlogging, floods in small and medium-sized rivers, flash floods, mudslides, and landslides caused by heavy rainfall.

Pengpai News noticed that the Guangdong Provincial Flood Control, Drought and Wind Prevention Headquarters upgraded the flood control level IV emergency response to level II at 1:30 on September 8th. On September 8th, primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Shenzhen suspended classes, and multiple subway line sections were suspended from operation.

The moon is a close neighbor of our blue planet and a transit station for humanity to move further into deep space. At present, China is carrying out the fourth phase of lunar exploration project. Not long ago, China also had a schedule for manned lunar landing. The new generation of manned rockets in China is expected to make its first flight in 2027, and it will also achieve the first Chinese landing on the moon before 2030. Aerospace development prioritizes power. Recently, the main engine of China's manned lunar landing rocket, the 130 ton pump rear swing liquid oxygen kerosene engine, developed by the Sixth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, completed its sixth test on the test bench. The cumulative test time of the engine reached 3300 seconds, and the working time exceeded 10 times the task time. This verified the reliability of the engine's operation and once again set a new record for single test of China's 100 ton engine. How difficult is the development of rocket high thrust engines? by
