Five Common Weather Phenomena

The five common weather phenomena are gale, rainstorm, hail, tornado and dense fog. 1. gale: a wind with strong intention. At present, meteorology refers to 8 winds. When the wind is strong, all the branches on the land are broken, and walking in the wind feels great resistance. Ships on the ocean and near the port can't stay outside. 2. Heavy rain: refers to rain with high precipitation intensity, which is often formed in cumulonimbus clouds. According to China's meteorological regulations, heavy rainfall with 24-hour precipitation exceeding 50 mm is called rainstorm.
