Why are there many thunderstorms in Leizhou Peninsula?

Leizhou Peninsula is one of the three major peninsulas in China, and it is named after many thunderstorms. It is located in the southwest of Guangdong province, across the Qiongzhou Strait, which is about 30 kilometers wide in the south, facing Hainan Province?

Thunderstorms are very active in Leizhou Peninsula. Even in winter, you can hear bursts of thunder, and there are lightning and thunder all year round. Is one of the three famous minefields in China?

The annual average number of thunderstorm days in Leizhou Peninsula is nearly 90 days, exceeding 100 days for many years? May-September is the season with frequent thunderstorms in Leizhou Peninsula, and July-August is the season with high thunderstorm activity density. High frequency? High intensity, prone to lightning disasters? From May to September, the average number of days per month reached 15, and the most months reached more than 20 days. There are thunderstorms almost every day, and thunder can be heard every day, especially in the southern part of Leizhou Peninsula?

Then, why are there so many thunderstorms in Leizhou Peninsula, which is famous for its thunder? This is related to the geographical location and topography of Leizhou Peninsula.

The causes of thunder in Leizhou Peninsula are complicated. Geologically, Leizhou Peninsula is located in the uplift area of the upper mantle. The top surface of the upper mantle is only 24 kilometers away from the surface, that is, the thickness of the crust, which normally reaches 35 kilometers. In addition, basaltic volcanic rocks are widely distributed on the surface, which are rich in iron?

Iron is a magnetic substance, and the electromagnetic field is stronger in areas rich in iron? The motion friction of matter in air produces positive and negative charges. What are the bumps on the ground when the negatively charged cloud approaches the ground downwards? Metals and other substances are induced to be positively charged. With the gradual enhancement of the electric field, Lei Yun will form a downward guide, and objects on the ground will form an upward flashover. When they meet, they will form a discharge to the ground? The uplift of the upper mantle and iron-rich rocks in Leizhou Peninsula may be one of the influencing factors of thunder, but there are also many related factors, such as meteorology.

Leizhou Peninsula is located in the northern tropical low latitude area, with high temperature and humidity all the year round. It has a long period, is rich in heat, faces the sea on three sides, is rich in water vapor, is often in a wet and unstable state, and is easy to produce strong cumulonimbus clouds. The gap caused by the land-sea boundary is also conducive to the triggering of strong convection and the release of unstable energy in the air?

Therefore, the special geographical characteristics of Leizhou Peninsula and its adjacent waters provide thermal conditions for the upward movement of strong convective weather, which makes the thunderstorm weather in Leizhou Peninsula frequent?
