A tornado broke out in Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province. Why can’t we predict the tornado?

Mainly because the formation of tornadoes is very irregular.

Tornadoes and typhoons are completely different. The conditions for the formation of a tornado in both disasters are very harsh. Anything less is not enough to form a tornado. Once all the conditions are met to form a tornado, it only takes a few seconds. It is simply impossible to predict things within the current technological level. We can only predict the probability, but no one can say for sure about disciplines, so sometimes the predicted tornado may happen. Or it might not happen.

Before a tornado occurs, the fluctuations in atmospheric pressure will be huge, and there will be a lot of updrafts. Under such circumstances, it only takes about 10 seconds to form a tornado, and this tornado Slowly it begins to spread and escalate. When the tornado becomes lethal, it takes less than a minute. Therefore, most tornadoes are just small cyclones when they first appear. Even the forecasting unit may not Didn't pay too much attention.

Our country is not a tornado-prone place. I have a friend who has lived in the United States for a long time. He works on a farm in the United States. Most of the American farms are in open areas, and these places are prone to tornadoes. There may be 2 to 3 tornadoes hitting within a month. Countless livestock and vehicles here were overturned and then hit the ground heavily, causing considerable disaster and impact to local farmers.

The American Astronomical and Meteorological Administration also deals with tornadoes, but there is nothing they can do about it. There are scenes in many movies where we can see professionals driving weather prediction vehicles chasing tornadoes. This is not a way to find excitement, but to learn about tornadoes as much as possible, hoping to find out the formation of tornadoes. I think these people who follow tornadoes are really brave people, because the damage radius of tornadoes is very huge, and if you are not careful, you may be catastrophic.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of these brave men that we can have such a deep understanding of tornadoes today. I hope that scientific researchers can continue to work hard and design some equipment to accurately predict tornadoes as soon as possible, so that we can Protect yourself from disasters.
