The correct thing to do during thunderstorms is: avoid using mobile phones.

1. Thunderstorms

Looking at the time of day, thunderstorms mostly occur in the afternoon and evening. On land, there are more opportunities to form "thermal thunderstorms" when thermal convection is strong in summer afternoons. At sea, because the sea surface cools slowly at night, the air is very unstable, so night thunderstorms often occur. When thunderstorms are generated near the front, frontal thunderstorms can also be generated.

In mountainous areas, terrain rain may occur. Thunderstorms are generally bursty and often have strong winds. Sometimes it is accompanied by tornadoes and hail. Continuous and severe thunderstorms often reach the level of heavy rain. The most active areas of thunderstorms in the world are in the tropics and mountains. There are an average of 75-100 thunderstorm days in the tropics every year, 20-50 thunderstorm days in the mid-latitudes, only a few thunderstorm days in the polar regions, and no thunderstorms north of 82 degrees north latitude throughout the year.

The main content of the weather forecast is the cloudiness, rain, snow, maximum and minimum temperatures, wind direction and wind force, and special disastrous weather in a region or city in the future. As far as China is concerned, meteorological observatories can accurately predict the location and intensity of natural disasters such as cold waves, typhoons, and heavy rains, which can directly serve industrial and agricultural production and people's lives.
