The reason for the recent heavy rainfall in the south
Since May 11, the intensity of the western Pacific subtropical high has been significantly stronger than that of the same period in history, and its location has been further north than that of the same period in history. The southwest monsoon is strong and has been maintained, transporting a large amount of water vapor from the South China Sea to the intersection area of warm and cold air currents.
The above factors caused the rain belt originally located in southern China to be suddenly pushed to the northern area of Jiangnan. Although the rainbands swing north and south, Zhejiang is hit by rainbands most of the time, resulting in continuous rainfall.
