Zhangzhou, Fujian Province was hit by 10 gale and 20mm hail. How to pay attention to safety when traveling in strong convective weather?

Strong convective weather refers to sudden, severe and destructive weather, often accompanied by strong convective disasters such as thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes and local heavy rains. This is a disastrous weather with great destructive power. Strong convective weather occurs in small and medium-scale weather systems, and the spatial scale is small. Generally, the horizontal range is about ten kilometers to two or three hundred kilometers, and some horizontal ranges are only tens of meters to ten kilometers.

It appeared for a short time, obviously suddenly, ranging from one hour to more than ten hours, and only a few minutes to an hour. This refers to convective gale (17.2 m/s), hail and short-term heavy precipitation (20 mm/h) accompanied by thunderstorms, which is one of the disastrous weather with great destructive power.

? Sudden short-term heavy precipitation, strong wind, thunder and lightning, hail, etc. Will make people shudder. Pedestrians and drivers in many places are affected by strong convective weather. Let's talk about how to deal with strong convective weather and driving precautions. Drivers and friends must pay attention to driving safety: first, slow down when the wind is angry, and second, prevent being hit. The role of the horn is weakened, and the speed of the vehicle slows down in windy days, so the vehicle horn is not so effective.

Pedestrians are more concerned about how to overcome the wind. Moreover, when the wind is strong, the horn sound will be subjectively weakened, which will not give pedestrians and other vehicle drivers a good reminder. So driving in the wind is more cautious and slower than usual. Parking is far from the building, visibility is low in rainstorm weather, sudden parking or sudden acceleration is very dangerous, and the road surface is slippery. In case of heavy rain on the way, drivers should temporarily leave the expressway and stop in the nearby service area for a temporary rest. But pay attention to prevent parking in the strong wind. Avoid parking in balcony windows and other places, away from those dead trees and dangerous walls. You'd better not pull over when parking. Don't drive a truck too close to a building or full of goods in the wind except slowing down.

Windshield wipers hide sand grains to prevent scratches and troubles caused by windy days, not only when driving and parking, but also when cleaning vehicles, especially wiper blades. In windy and sandy days, this is the best hiding place for sand grains. Therefore, after the sandstorm, the car should carefully clean the sand that may be hidden in the wiper, and then start the wiper, otherwise it will scratch the car glass.
