Old people often say, "Wayun burns people to death". What's going on here?

Old people often say, "Wayun is scorching. This is because the special structure caused by clouds leads to the formation and amplification effect of lens structure, thus feeling the high temperature.

Hook clouds are called hook clouds in meteorology, and broom clouds, ponytail clouds and feather clouds refer to cirrus clouds. These two kinds of clouds are often generated in the front or trough of low pressure. In these weather system areas, the convergent airflow is very strong, and the updraft is strong enough to lift warm and humid air to high altitude to form high clouds. At the same time, the high-altitude wind is very strong, blowing water vapor along the direction of airflow, forming hook clouds and cirrus clouds.

Therefore, the appearance of hook-cirrus clouds and cirrus clouds indicates the coming of weather systems such as frontal or low pressure, and is a harbinger of stormy weather. However, the appearance of hook clouds after rain or in winter indicates that the weather will improve. Therefore, there is also a proverb that "the hook cloud dissipates, the sunny day dries up" and "the winter hook cloud dries up the dust".

"Hook cloud" generally appears at an altitude of seven or eight kilometers. The cloud is upward with a small hook at one end. This kind of cloud is composed of cold crystals, so the color of the cloud is milky white and transparent, which is called hook cloud in meteorology. It often appears before the influence of cold air in the north or low pressure at high altitude. When there are hook clouds, the amount of clouds increases and the clouds become thicker, indicating that cold air or high-altitude low pressure is approaching and it is going to rain soon. If the hook cloud gradually dissipates, it is because the low pressure at high altitude has left the local area and moved away.

Therefore, there is also a proverb that "the hook cloud dissipates and the sunny day is drier", which indicates that the future will be sunny and rainy.
