How long did the rainstorm in Wuhan last in July 2020?

I believe everyone has already felt the heavy rain in Wuhan in the morning. For friends who live in Wuhan, it's crazy, because the rain is too heavy. Are friends at work still stuck in traffic jams or soaked? Everyone must pay attention to safety!

How long does the rainstorm last in Wuhan?

Among them, the rain in many places in Hubei today is particularly fierce. -This morning, the Meiyu front rainstorm belt just hit the urban area of Wuhan City, Hubei Province. The monitoring data show that the rainfall at Wuhan National Station reached the rainstorm level within a few hours, while the hourly precipitation in Caidian was as high as 75.9mm, and the rain was extremely fierce. The raging rainstorm once again made many places in Wuhan "see the sea". To this end, Wuhan has issued a rainstorm red in the morning.

However, this rainstorm is not the end. According to the super-calculation, with the strengthening and stability of the western Pacific subtropical high, the northern margin will remain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the Meiyu belt in South China will remain along the Yangtze River, and today's rainstorm is only the beginning of continuous Meiyu.

For example, according to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, from today's rainstorm to Saturday, there will basically be continuous rain and frequent moderate rain in Wuhan, especially on Monday. In this case, in the next seven days, Meiyu will continue to wreak havoc near Wuhan. For Wuhan and other places where there was more rain and the water level of rivers and lakes soared before, such a continuous rainstorm will bring a severe test to flood control.
