Hail suddenly fell in Yuncheng, Changzhi, Linfen and other places in Shanxi Province, causing heavy losses to farmers.
A sudden heavy rain fell in Linfen City, Shanxi Province. The heavy rain and hail hit the ground densely. The rain instantly resembled rivers. Wherever the hail hit, the ground made a sound. Such weather phenomena occur not only in Linfen City in Shanxi Province, but also in Yuncheng and Changzhi City in Shanxi Province. The Meteorological Bureau issued a blue warning for thunderstorms and strong winds, and some areas will experience short-term heavy rainfall and hail.
Hail is a very common weather phenomenon. When water vapor on the ground rises into the air and condenses into clouds, the water vapor will quickly freeze when it encounters cold air during the condensation process. When the cold air continues to affect the clouds, the ice cubes will continue to condense and form ice clumps, which are hailstones. When the condensation reaches a certain level, they will fall from the sky. The size of hailstones has a certain relationship with surface temperature and cold air. The surface temperature is too high, water vapor evaporates violently, and the influence of cold air in the sky lasts too long. The size of hailstones ranges from a few millimeters to several centimeters, and their shape Not regular either.
The arrival of hail will have a certain impact on people's production and life, especially on crops. Hail will cause crop yield reduction, and in severe cases, all crops will die. In the entire growth process of crops, the growth period of seedlings is the most important stage. If the seedlings are damaged by hail at this time, the seedlings are likely to not grow normally, resulting in large-scale crop yield reductions. If the crops are mature during grain filling, Damage caused by hail will hinder normal grain filling and maturity, and will also lead to crop yield reduction. It will also harm plastic greenhouses and poultry and livestock.
This time, many places in Shanxi suffered from hail damage. Farmers will definitely suffer losses, but they will not be very serious. The first reason is that the hail fell to the ground with heavy rain. The volume and mass of the hail were not very large, and the hail had melted a lot after being baptized by the rain during the falling process. The second reason is that after Shanxi enters May, the crops are already in the growth stage and the seedling stage has passed, so small hail will not cause much damage to the crops.
