Chongqing guy's canopy was blown over by the wind, and pedestrians shouted for help. How to protect yourself in strong convective weather?

After entering the flood season, there will be more severe convective weather, such as lightning, short-term heavy rainfall, thunderstorm and gale, hail and other sudden, violent and destructive disastrous weather.

How to deal with and prevent severe convective weather?

First, pay close attention to the early warning information released by meteorological stations through various channels. As long as the signs of severe convective weather are captured, the Meteorological Observatory will issue relevant warnings through various websites, Weibo, outdoor electronic display screens and other channels. Once you receive or see or hear such early warning information, you should take preventive measures. If you need to go out to work, you should pay more attention to avoid going out in extreme weather. Close the windows and cut off the power at home!

Second, when encountering strong convective weather, we should try to avoid outdoor activities. When strong convective weather occurs, lightning is the most active and harmful, so everyone should strengthen the prevention of lightning. When there is lightning, don't stay in an open environment. Try to hide in a building with lightning protection facilities. If there is a car outside, you can also hide in the car. Because the strong wind is very easy to cause trees to break and houses to collapse, which is easy to cause personal injury. If strong convection leads to thunderstorms and strong winds, everyone should stay away from easily broken trees, billboards and dangerous houses as soon as possible. Don't go outdoors. If you are outdoors, don't stay where there are trees, transformers, chimneys, flagpoles, etc. And you can't stand on an empty high ground.

Third, you need to roughly judge the location of lightning and your own distance, which can be roughly judged by multiplying the time interval between seeing lightning and hearing thunder by 340. The closer you get, the more dangerous it is. You should stay away from the thunderstorm area.

Fourth, when lightning is frequently active, it is best to turn off all electronic equipment and unplug the power supply. All the computer adapters in my project have been burned.

Fifth, if you work in the wild and find dark areas in the distance, lightning and cold wind blow from time to time, which is a precursor to strong convective weather. Seeing this situation, a thunderstorm and strong wind are coming. At this time, you should immediately stop artificial farmland and go home, or temporarily stay in the villagers' homes to shelter from the rain!
