What kind of weather conditions does the high-speed rail stop in?

High-speed rail can operate in general weather such as wind, rain, fog and snow, but it will still be affected by some extreme weather, such as heavy rainfall, blizzard, fog and strong wind. Among them, gale is one of the most serious weather that affects the operation of high-speed railway, and it is also a meteorological disaster that railway departments focus on preventing.

Strong wind will lead to the failure of train power system and signal system. In extreme cases, the instantaneous strong wind can directly overturn the train.

According to relevant research data, when the wind speed is greater than 20 m/s, the high-speed rail will run at a speed limit without a wind wall; Strong fog, heavy snow and heavy rain mainly affect the power system and signal system of high-speed railway, which leads to the delay and shutdown of high-speed railway. So be sure to pay attention to the latest weather before going out.
