Is the rainstorm force majeure? Is the rainstorm force majeure?

Heavy rain is force majeure.

The so-called force majeure refers to the objective situation that cannot be foreseen, avoided and overcome when concluding a contract. Including natural disasters, such as typhoons, earthquakes, floods and hail; Government actions, such as expropriation and requisition; Social anomalies, such as strikes and riots.

The event referred to by force majeure must be unforeseeable by both parties at the time of conclusion of the contract, and it is purely accidental after the conclusion of the contract. Of course, this kind of sudden accident is not an event that the parties can't imagine completely, and some accidents are not completely unpredictable by the parties.

However, due to the extremely small probability of its occurrence, it is ignored by the parties and excluded from the normal situation. However, as a result, this accidental event really appeared, and this kind of event is still an unpredictable event.

Force majeure is an objective situation that cannot be foreseen, avoided and overcome, so it belongs to force majeure for its rainstorm.

Heavy rain, typhoon, etc. It is extremely rare and has not happened for many years. It is considered as a force majeure factor.

Red rainstorm warning:

Standard: within 3 hours, the rainfall will reach 100 mm or above, or it has reached 100 mm and the rainfall may continue.

Defense guide:

1. The government and relevant departments should do a good job in emergency rescue of rainstorm according to their duties.

2. Stop assembly, suspend classes and suspend business (except for special industries).

3, do a good job in mountain torrents, landslides, mudslides and other disasters prevention and rescue work.

Danger of rainstorm:

Rainstorm is one of the main meteorological disasters in China. Long-term rainstorm is easy to produce water accumulation or runoff flooding low-lying areas, resulting in floods. According to the statistics of 1950- 1999, the average flood disaster area in China for many years is 9.424 million hectares, and the affected area of farmland in severe flood years can reach more than130,000 hectares.

A once-in-a-thousand-year torrential rain in Zhengzhou, Henan Province

The recent rainstorm in Henan has touched the hearts of the people all over the country. How heavy is the rain? Taking Zhengzhou as an example, according to the statistics of Zhengzhou Meteorological Bureau, from 20 17 to 20 16/7, the rainfall in one hour reached 20 1.9mm, and the rainfall in three days was 6 17. It is the rainfall of Zhengzhou for one hour and one month, and the rainfall for three days and one year. The probability of hourly and daily precipitation is once in a thousand years.

/kloc-since July of 0/7, continuous heavy rainfall began to appear in the north of Huaihe River in Henan Province. According to the forecast of Henan Meteorological Observatory, this heavy rainfall has a long duration, a wide range, a large magnitude and strong rain, and several stations broke the single-day precipitation record in July. To ensure the safety of tourists, as of 19, more than 50 scenic spots in Henan have announced the temporary closure of the park for the first time.

To produce rainstorm, there must be enough water vapor, strong and lasting upward movement of airflow and instability of atmospheric structure. The favorable combination of weather system and underlying surface, especially topography, can produce heavy rain. Rainstorms often fall from cumulonimbus clouds. The updraft in the cumulonimbus cloud is very strong, the vertical speed can reach 20-30m/s, and the maximum speed can reach 60m/s, even higher than the wind speed of typhoon. In the strong updraft, the water droplets keep increasing, and the water droplets in the cloud drop sharply to the ground until the updraft can't support it.

In China, the water vapor of rainstorm comes from the South China Sea or the Bay of Bengal. Second, from the East China Sea or the Yellow Sea. Sometimes, in a rainstorm, water vapor comes from the east and south, or mainly from the south in the early stage and from the east in the later stage. "Southeast wind, the ancestor of rain" spreads in the Central Plains of China, which is an objective reflection of precipitation law. Like running water, the motion of the atmosphere often produces fluctuations or eddies. When two air streams from different directions or different temperatures and humidity meet, fluctuations or vortices will occur. The largest is several meters in Qian Qian, and the smallest is only a few kilometers. In these fluctuating areas, with the operation of air flow, upward movement often occurs, and horizontal water vapor quickly concentrates in the same area, forming a rainstorm center.

Tourists suddenly encounter heavy rain after traveling, how to save themselves?

First, look for high-rise, solid and multi-storey buildings above the water;

2. Avoid entering subways, underground culverts, tunnels, underground commercial streets and other places, and avoid old buildings, hillsides, trees and billboards;

Third, don't use transportation facilities, whether buses, subways, taxis or even high-speed trains may be interrupted. The subway station is underground and the bus is in a low-lying place, which is very dangerous. Leave the vehicle and find a safe place. If you leave the means of transportation, it is best to maintain collective action;

Four, away from high-voltage lines, high-voltage towers, transformers, wires, switches and other power facilities;

Fifth, after arriving at a safe place, mark your current position and the safety of people around you, so as to save electricity and reduce contact with the outside world. If you can't leave the dangerous position, immediately report your position, how many people there are, the surrounding water situation, emergency communication methods, etc. Give it to the ITU police, and then stop using the mobile phone and wait for rescue.
