Extended data

Terminology explanation

Sunny day: the cloud cover in the sky is less than 30%.

Yin: The amount of clouds in the sky accounts for more than 90%.

Fog: A large number of tiny water droplets or ice crystals float in the air near the ground, and the horizontal visibility drops below 1 km.

Light rain: the daily precipitation is less than 10 mm.

Heavy rain: the daily precipitation is 25.0-49.9mm..

Thunderstorm: Intermittent precipitation accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Hail: With the violent vertical movement in the cumulonimbus cloud, small hail nuclei repeatedly rise, condense, fall and melt, and grow into small ice cubes with transparent layers, which have an impact on crops.

Freezing rain: raindrops freeze on the ground below 0℃, also called rain song (frozen by fog drops, called rime).

Sleet: The temperature near the ground is slightly higher than 0℃, and wet snow or rain and snow drop at the same time.

Xiaoxue: The daily snowfall (melting into water) is less than 2.5mm. ..

Medium snow: the daily snowfall (melting into water) is 2.6-4.9 mm.

Heavy snow: the daily snowfall (melting into water) reaches or exceeds 5.0 mm.

Frost: Frost is formed when water vapor condenses into white crystals on the ground and the surface of objects at a temperature below 0℃. If there is little water vapor, it is said that black frost has freezing damage to crops, which is called frost.
