About the weather and thunder and lightning

This is the effect of afternoon hot thunderstorms. Recently, there is a cold westerly vortex in North China and southern Northeast China. The existence of this vortex allows the cold air located at the rear of the vortex to continue to move southward. , because the low vortex is located at high altitude, the cold air going south is also located at high altitude.

Recently, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are located behind the warm high pressure on the surface entering the sea. The low altitude is occupied by warm air, and southerly winds prevail. Because the surface temperature is high, the warm air convection occurs, and the effect of cold air at high altitude makes this convection more intense, forming a strong afternoon thermal thunderstorm.

It is possible to turn on the lights during thundery days in areas equipped with lightning rods, but if the lightning is strong and close, it is best not to turn on the lights.

When you were a child, this kind of strong convective weather often occurred in the summer, but you just didn’t remember it.
