The weather in Changzhi City, China

Sudden rainstorm in Linfen City, Shanxi Province. The rainstorm hit the ground with hail, and the rain was like a river in an instant. Wherever the hail goes, the ground will rebound. Not only Linfen City, Shanxi Province, but also Yuncheng City and Changzhi City, Shanxi Province have such weather phenomena. The Meteorological Bureau issued a blue warning of thunderstorms and strong winds, and short-term heavy precipitation and hail weather will occur in some areas.

Hail is a very common weather phenomenon. When the water vapor on the ground rises into the air, it condenses into clouds. When water vapor meets cold air during condensation, it will freeze quickly. When the cold air continues to affect the clouds, the ice cubes will continue to condense and form ice masses, which are hail. If it condenses to a certain extent, it will fall from the sky. The size of hail has a certain relationship with ground temperature and cold air. The surface temperature is too high, the water vapor evaporates violently, and the influence of cold air in the air is too long. Hail varies in size from several millimeters to several centimeters, and its shape is irregular.

The arrival of hail will have a certain impact on people's production and life, especially on crops. Hail will reduce crop production, and in severe cases all crops will die. The growth period of seedlings is the most important stage in the whole growth process of crops. If the seedlings are damaged by hail at this time, the seedlings may not grow normally, resulting in a large area of crop yield reduction. If crops are damaged by hail when they are filling mature, it will hinder normal filling maturity and also lead to crop yield reduction. At the same time, it will also cause harm to plastic greenhouses and poultry and livestock.

This time, many places in Shanxi suffered from hail, and the losses of farmers will definitely be there, but it will not be very serious. The first reason is that hail landed on the ground with heavy rain. The volume and quality of hail are not very large, and the hail has melted a lot after being baptized by rain during the landing. The second reason is that after Shanxi entered May, the crops have been in a vigorous period, and the seedling stage has passed, so the small hail will not do much harm to the crops.
