Will there be an earthquake or other natural disasters in such hot weather recently?

"There are many reasons for climate anomalies, and earthquake preparation is one of the possible reasons. But there is no conclusive evidence to prove that earthquakes and climate anomalies are necessarily related. Some scholars have explored the use of drought and climate anomalies to predict earthquakes, and the false alarm rate is high, so it is difficult to use them for pre-earthquake prediction.

Some seismologists have studied the relationship between rainfall and earthquakes, and after analyzing the precipitation data of China from 1957 to 197 1, they have come to the conclusion that the epicentre is often an arid area within 1 ~ 3 years before the China earthquake, such as Xingtai earthquake of 1966.

At present, there is no clear scientific basis to prove that earthquakes are related to climate anomalies, and there are many factors affecting climate. Even the same climate phenomenon is mostly caused by different factors. Therefore, it is unfounded to say that a particular climate phenomenon has something to do with earthquakes. If there is a climate anomaly, it can't be said that there will be an earthquake in the future, and the climate anomaly is not necessarily caused by a catastrophic earthquake.

There may be many special phenomena before the earthquake, and there may be many influences after the earthquake. However, as far as the forefront of world science is concerned, there is no clear relationship between climate anomalies before earthquakes and the occurrence of earthquakes. At the same time, whether abnormal climate can induce earthquakes is also worthy of further study. But what is certain is that the current climate anomaly cannot be used as the basis for earthquake prediction.

However, there is a close relationship between seismic activity and climate change. In this regard, Zongjin Ma, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, wrote the book "Progress in Comprehensive Research on Natural Disasters in China", which clearly pointed out that seismic activity is the most frequent during the period when the climate changes from warm to cold or from cold to warm, that is, the period of seismic activity in China in recent 500 years is almost equivalent to the low temperature period. For example, earthquakes in eastern North China mostly occur in the cold period. However, there are also some earthquakes. For example, the Sanhe earthquake in Hebei Province 1679, the Pinggu earthquake in Beijing and the Heze earthquake in Shandong Province 1973 were extremely hot before the earthquake. 1966, the average temperature in the seven days before Xingtai earthquake soared from-13℃ to 1 1℃.
