The strongest rainstorm in the history of the earth.

1. Where is the strongest storm in the world? This is the heaviest rain in China's history, setting a world record of 1975. On August 4th of that year, Typhoon No.3 (Typhoon No.7503) in China crossed Taiwan Province Island and landed in Jinjiang, Fujian.

At this time, just as the air near Australia in the southern hemisphere broke out in the northern hemisphere, the tropical convergence line of the western Pacific jumped northward, causing the landing typhoon not to disappear quickly on land as usual, but to cross Jiangxi, Hunan, Changde and the Yangtze River with rare intensity and suddenly reach the hinterland of the Central Plains. On August 5, the mysterious typhoon 7503 suddenly disappeared from the radar monitoring screen of Beijing Central Meteorological Observatory. Due to the adjustment of the westerly belt in the northern hemisphere, Typhoon No.7503 could not turn eastward on its way northward, so "stop and move less in Henan" led to the disaster.

The specific area of "stagnation" is in the big arc zone between Funiu Mountain Range and Tongbai Mountain Range, where there are a large number of horseshoe-shaped valleys surrounded by mountains on three sides and canyons sandwiched between the two mountains. The southerly airflow moves violently vertically here, and with the participation of other weather scale systems, it causes a rare rainstorm in history.

This area, which is most prone to rainstorm, is also the best area to build reservoirs-hundreds of mountain reservoirs are scattered here. The rainstorm was unexpected by the reservoir designer.

From August 4th to August 8th, the maximum rainfall in the rainstorm center reached 163 1mm, and the maximum rainfall for three days (August 5th to 7th) was 1605mm. The strongest rain belt is located on the windward side of Funiu Mountain Range. From 4th to 8th, the rainfall area over 400 mm reached 194 10 km2.

The precipitation area greater than 1000mm is concentrated in Banqiao Reservoir and Shimantan Reservoir to Fangcheng, west of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway. The rainfall intensity of this rainstorm, in the rainstorm center-Banqiao Reservoir Zhuang Lin, the maximum 6-hour rainfall was 830mm, which exceeded the world record at that time (782mm maximum 24-hour rainfall 1060mm in Smith Port, Pennsylvania, USA, and also set the highest record of similar indicators in China.

Witnesses said: within a few days of heavy rain, day is like night; Rain is like shooting from a fire hose; Take out the washbasin from the room and it will be full in a blink of an eye; The rain was like an arrow, and there were dead birds everywhere on the mountain after the rain. This extraordinary typhoon brought unprecedented disaster to Henan. Two large reservoirs, Banqiao and Shimantan, as well as two medium-sized reservoirs and 58 small reservoirs in Zhumadian, Henan Province, burst their banks in a few hours. The flood of 5.7 billion cubic meters turned Zhumadian 10 county (town) into Zeguo. Adding Xuchang, Zhoukou and Nanyang, the number of people affected is 165438+.

Qian, then Minister of Water Resources and Electric Power, said: This is the largest flood with the largest disaster area and the largest number of deaths since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is the most painful lesson of water conservancy work. In addition, affected by Typhoon No.7503, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui and other provinces were also affected to varying degrees. 5.39 million mu of farmland was affected, 208 people were killed, more than 560 people were injured and more than 60,000 houses collapsed.

2. Where is the biggest rainstorm in the world? The world's largest rainstorm occurred on Reunion Island in the South Indian Ocean, with a 24-hour precipitation of1870mm. The largest rainstorm in China occurred in Xinliao, Taiwan Province Province, with a 24-hour precipitation of1672mm, all caused by tropical cyclone activities. China is one of the countries with the most rainstorms in the world, and almost all provinces (cities, districts) have rainstorms. Mainly concentrated in the second half of the year. The regional distribution of rainstorm days is obviously more in the south and less in the north; There are many coastal areas and few inland areas; There are many windward slopes and few leeward slopes. The annual average number of rainstorm days in mountainous areas of Taiwan Province Province is more than 16 days, and Dongxing, Yangjiang, Shanwei and some coastal areas of South China are more than 10 days. On the contrary, the annual average number of rainstorm days in northwest China is less than 1 day.

For example, the rainfall of 50 mm is evenly distributed within 24 hours, giving people the impression that it is Mao Mao rain. If the precipitation of 9 mm is completed within one minute, it will give people a feeling that the sky is falling, which is not described by downpour. Everything is relative and has its specific background. In southern China, the standard of rainstorm is basically 80mm/24h, but this definition needs to be further improved.

In history, the earth has been raining heavily for hundreds of years, not hundreds of years, but tens of thousands of years.

At the beginning of the earth's formation, it was a liquid sphere with very high temperature. At that time, all the water on the earth was steam, which gathered in the atmosphere.

Later, the earth gradually cooled and a solid crust appeared. The water vapor in the atmosphere began to condense into water droplets, and it began to rain on the earth.

It rained for tens of thousands of years. The initial rainwater touches the hot ground and then evaporates.

Gradually, with the decrease of the earth's temperature, water accumulated on the ground, and rivers gradually appeared, and rivers merged into rivers and seas, which is now the earth. As for why the earth's temperature will drop? Because the earth can't generate heat by itself like the sun, the original heat is constantly radiated into space.

So, the temperature dropped. Now the earth, because it constantly receives the heat from the sun, is basically in a state of thermal balance, and the temperature rises and falls very little.

So, will the temperature of the earth continue to drop in the future? It will be five billion years later, when the sun fails and dies, if the earth still exists, the temperature of the earth will drop to absolute zero.

4. The strongest typhoon in history The typhoon with the strongest wind speed when it landed in Chinese mainland was Typhoon No.56 1 956, which landed in Xiangshan, Zhejiang on August1.

After landing, Wanda's eyes were quickly blocked and moved on, crossing the northern part of Zhejiang. Wherever I go, it's always a storm. The rainfall of Ling Zhan Station in Zhejiang Province reached 694 mm; The winds above 12 are measured at inland stations in northern Zhejiang. Shaoxing measured a gust of 43 meters per second. The average wind force in Hangzhou reached 1 1, and the gust reached more than 35M/S, which caused great damage to the beautiful West Lake scenic spot. When Wanda Center passed through Hangzhou on 10 in the morning, the air pressure recorded by Hangzhou Meteorological Observatory was 958.7 hectopascals, which became the extreme air pressure recorded in Hangzhou so far. 7 1 person died in Hangzhou-in the following 32 years, Hangzhou has never experienced such a tragic typhoon. Shanghai also measured an average wind speed of 30M/S and a gust of 34M/S, and the iron cross weighing 400kg at the top of Xujiahui Catholic Church was blown down. Since then, Shanghai has never been hit by a strong typhoon.

Due to the destruction of the terrain, the intensity of Wanda gradually weakened and weakened into a tropical storm in northern Anhui. Because the subtropical high has not retreated, it continues to maintain or even extend westward, which leads Wanda to continue to push inland to the northwest. Its huge circulation and abundant water vapor have brought different degrees of disasters to China 10 provinces and regions. The shocking fact is that Tianjin in the north, Xiamen in the south, Qinling and Hengyang in the west are all covered by Wanda 8 gale, while some weather stations in Anhui can still record 12 gust. The rich water vapor in the northwest Pacific has now turned into a rainstorm, and one third of it has been spilled by Wanda. Heavy rains hit the North China Plain. The 24-hour rainfall in Shiziping, Pingshan County, at the foot of Taihang Mountain reached 385 mm, and the Haihe River was flooded. Beijing was also hit by heavy rainfall, with 24-hour rainfall reaching 434.8 mm, which caused flooding in 42 villages in Daxing and the water level of Yongding River soared. Wanda also became the first TC that seriously affected Beijing after the founding of the People's Republic of China. With the cooperation of cold air in the north, Wanda even triggered the first flood in the second Songhua River basin in Jilin since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and four people died as a result of the disaster.

After August 3, Wanda passed through Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other provinces, and the weakened low pressure disappeared at the junction of Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia. The wind stopped, the rain stopped and the tide receded. However, what remained on the land of China was devastation ... This unprecedented catastrophe killed more than 5,000 people across the country. In Zhejiang alone, 4,925 people died,17,000 people were injured, and 2.2 million houses were damaged to varying degrees. The economic loss is incalculable. Of course, there are different opinions about the death toll. Due to the rescue conditions and political environment at that time, the actual death toll may be more, but it doesn't matter anymore, because 4,935 and a series of other amazing figures are destined to make Wanda go down in history-you can find her in the most conspicuous places, whether it is tropical cyclone yearbook or local chronicles. For fans, 56 12WANDA will always be the king in their hearts. For the witnesses, 56 12WANDA is a pain in their hearts that can never be erased.

Wanda's life span is not outstanding, only 8 days. However, it is these days that Wanda has occupied the most eye-catching position in the meteorological history of China, and even once had the title of "the first stop in Chinese mainland". However, 4,629 murders and countless property losses should not only tell people these dull records-human beings are not sages, but also human wishful thinking, and human beings cannot overcome nature. Nowadays, it is considered unwise for cadres and the masses to defend the seawall because of the strong wind of 17. In 2004, in the face of the powerful Yunna, Zhejiang people chose to transfer: we should be pleased with this. However, no matter how big the mistake is, there is no doubt that there is one thing worth pondering-50 years ago, the spiritual quality of leading cadres taking the lead and truly thinking for the people gave people a powerful impetus to fight against natural disasters, but today? Can we reflect on the happiness of the past?

Six years later, the typhoon Wanda of the same name made Hong Kong people feel the great pain brought by "the wind speed is the first in China" and made up for Wanda's regret that it did not leave the wind speed. History is always humorous. In 2005, Katrina was born in the Western Hemisphere, making New Orleans a hell with the same lowest air pressure as 56 12, a landing pressure difference of 300 HPA, and the same powerful storm surge and flood. Cross the name of Camille in Mississippi off the wall and replace it with Katrina; ; The magical shadow of Hurricane Gaswilton is striking. But Katrina will never overthrow Wanda's rule-Nanzhuang was New Orleans 49 years ago, and Wanda will always be a lingering shadow on Katrina's head. The shocking performance of 56 12 will be engraved in history forever.

Fifty years after the August 1st disaster, a monument was erected on Nanzhuang Plain to show that people will always remember it. When the 56 12 Dai Wen100th anniversary comes, I hope people will still remember her. History has proved that super typhoon Wanda will be reborn at some point in the future; But we also hope that the terrible tragedy at that time will not repeat itself. Of course, this requires everyone's efforts.

5. What is the worst weather on earth? Typhoon is a very destructive and disastrous weather system, but sometimes it can also play a beneficial role in eliminating drought.

Its harmfulness mainly includes three aspects: ① strong wind. The maximum wind force near the center of tropical cyclone reaching typhoon level is above 12.

② Heavy rain. Typhoon is one of the weather systems that bring heavy rain. The area where the typhoon passes may produce rainfall of 150~300mm, and a few typhoons may directly or indirectly produce rainstorm above 1000mm, such as the rainstorm in southern Henan after tropical cyclone No.3 +0975 landed, which broke the rainfall record in some areas (Henan 75.8 incident).

③ Storm surge. Generally, typhoons will increase water in coastal waters, and the maximum water increase in coastal areas of Jiangsu Province can reach 3m.

Typhoons "9608" and "97 1 1" increased the water, which made Jiangsu's coastal areas along the Yangtze River appear unprecedented. Typhoon often brings stormy weather when crossing the border, causing huge waves on the sea surface, which seriously threatens the safety of navigation.

After the typhoon landed, the storm surge may destroy crops and various building facilities, causing great losses to people's lives and property.

6. What is the name of the strongest typhoon in history? Typhoon Tip, the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded on earth. 19791June 12, the wind speed in the center of Taipei in the northwest Pacific Ocean is 306 kilometers per hour, the lowest pressure is 870 millibars, and the circulation width is 2 174 kilometers, which is enough to cover half of the United States. Typhoon Taibei (English: Typhoon Tip, translated by Taiwan Province Province: Dipu) is a tropical cyclone with the largest influence range, the largest intensity and the lowest sea surface pressure in the world, which was generated in the western part of the North Pacific. The joint typhoon warning center called it the super typhoon tip. This typhoon caused massive floods in Japan from 65438 to 0979. The typhoon at that time was never named in Japan, so the Japanese Meteorological Observatory called it Typhoon No.20 at that time, and it was recorded as Typhoon No.20 in Showa in 54 years.

Formation:1979 65438+1October 3rd.

Dissipation:1979 65438+1October 22nd.

Maximum wind speed: 260 km/h (140 kts) (10 minute average wind speed); 306 km/h (165 knots) (1 min average wind speed)

Minimum air pressure: 870 hectopascals

Death toll: 1 10 Death

Affected area: Japan

7. What is the worst natural disaster in the history of the world? There was a serious natural disaster in the history of China. In many ways, this natural disaster can be said to have created an unprecedented record, and it may be the last time, which still scares China people. The seriousness of this natural disaster is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the duration is unique in the whole history of human civilization, which lasts for three years. Since the clear historical records of mankind, there has never been such a long-lasting natural disaster, which can only be compared with Quaternary glaciers.

Second, the scope of communication is unique in the whole history of human civilization. From the northeast to Hainan, from Kashgar in Xinjiang to Zhoushan in Zhejiang, 9.6 million square kilometers of land in China have been affected. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors nearly 5,000 years ago, there has never been such a widespread natural disaster in China, especially in the whole world. The only thing that can be compared with it is the Quaternary Glacier, which affected the whole earth.

Third, the death toll is confusing, ranging from100000 to 40 million, but one thing is certain, it has created the record of the largest number of deaths in human history. As humans evolved from primates to humans, before this disaster, as far as I know, the natural disaster with the largest number of deaths may be Huayin earthquake in Shaanxi during the Ming Dynasty in China, which killed 800,000 people, but it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared with this one. What is even more sensational is that the death toll of this natural disaster is likely to exceed the sum of the death toll of natural disasters in human history.

Fourth, the details of the disaster are confusing. Is it flood, drought, locust or hurricane? Or landslides, ground fissures, tsunamis and mudslides? Or abnormal solar activity, cosmic ray bursts, and comets hitting the earth? Up to now, there is no clear conclusion, probably because too many people died in that disaster, and those who survived were either too young to remember the past or insane from hunger, which made it difficult for people today to investigate that disaster. In just a few decades after the disaster, the details about the disaster disappeared mysteriously, and there were no records in various historical classics, leaving only some vague memories in my mind. A natural disaster that killed tens of millions of people almost completely disappeared from people's sight in just a few decades, which is unique in the whole human history.

To sum up, this rare natural disaster has brought great losses to the Chinese nation. Although we don't know how the disaster happened, we can't forget those tens of millions of dead compatriots. Recently, international food prices have skyrocketed, and the haze of famine has once again come to our planet. I am a grassroots, and I have no ability to save the world and people. I can only pray to God to help China so that every compatriot can have enough to eat, that's all.

In addition, this article only commemorates the 50th anniversary of natural disasters, and warns that if any bamboo dares to violate my post, I will sincerely wish that half of their family will starve to death, and the other half will die if they eat Guanyin soil and can't shit. Thank you all.

8. How long has the biggest precipitation since the birth of the earth lasted? 1March, 952 to1March, 5 to1June, in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar in Africa, there was a small island called Reunion, which once rained 1870 mm in one day.

Locals used "the end of the world" to describe the scene at that time: the sky was covered with dark clouds and the day was like night. The rain in the sky is not raining, but raining, and the roof is riddled with rain and is in a mess; The rain on the ground didn't flow away before, resulting in water several meters deep on the island, which is almost no different from the sea; People are scattered, I don't know where the land is and where the ocean is ... This rainstorm is the biggest rainfall process since the meteorological record on the earth, so reunion island has won the reputation of "rain pole" on the earth. According to meteorologists, the reason why the island rained so much in just one day is closely related to its location in the tropical climate zone and the main channel of tropical storms in the Indian Ocean.

At that time, the island was hit by a persistent tropical storm. In addition, the island's topography is complex, with many mountains and peaks. A large amount of water vapor rose sharply after encountering obstacles from high mountains, which made the hot and humid air condense into clouds and led to a heavy rain. In addition to Reunion Island, there is also a "rain pole" on the earth, which is the town of Kilapangi in northeastern India.

If reunion island is famous for its daily precipitation, Kilapanchi Island is famous for its annual precipitation. According to the statistics of meteorological data, 186 1 year, the annual rainfall in Kilapangqi reaches 22,990 mm; From August of 1890 to July of 189 1, it rained 2446 1 mm here. From August of 1960 to July of 196 1 2006, due to the particularly active southwest monsoon, Kilapanchi once again set a new world rainfall record for nearly a hundred years. The annual rainfall is as high as 2646 1.2 mm, the average daily rainfall is more than 70 mm, and the daily rainfall of 50 mm is the standard of rainstorm. It rains almost every day here.

According to the analysis of meteorologists, the origin of the "rain pole" in Kilapanchi is closely related to the geographical location and topographic conditions: the area is surrounded by three high mountains and there is only one opening in the south. When the summer monsoon keeps pouring in, it is blocked here, especially the tall Himalayas in the north, which blocks the hot and humid airflow from the Indian Ocean and forces the airflow full of water vapor to rise, often condensing here to form downpours. According to the extreme value of annual rainfall, Kilapanchi is considered as the "champion", but according to the average annual rainfall, this champion should go to Kauai, Hawaii. 1920- 1972 The average rainfall was 1 1458 mm, which was the place with the most rainfall in the earth last year.

According to experts' analysis, the towering mountains of the island block the way of the northeast trade wind like a "screen", forcing the humid sea breeze to bypass the hillside, and the hot and cold air often meet, thus making the island crisp all the year round.
