What is the reason for the tornado in Conghua District of Guangzhou?

On the evening of June 16, after 19:22, a tornado appeared in Taiping Town, Conghua District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, and the wind column could be seen hanging down. Judging from the videos taken by some netizens, the tornado is not small. There is a huge funnel-shaped cloud connected with it, and a cloud column under the cloud directly reaches the ground. Tornado involved Taiping Development Zone and Taiping Village along the west road of Taiping Town, and passed Guangzhou Metro 14 line, causing considerable damage. Fortunately, the duration of this tornado is about 5 minutes, and the path length is about 1.5 km. Strong convective weather is the main cause of tornadoes, and of course it is also affected by various ground forms.

1, when some meteorological conditions appear, tornadoes will appear.

Strong convective weather is the most prone to tornadoes. When there are obvious clouds in the sky, there may be potentially fierce cold and warm air currents in the opposite direction, which may easily lead to tornadoes. If the ground is flat and there are few obstacles, it is more conducive to the growth and walking of tornadoes.

In this tornado-related video, there are huge clouds in the local sky, some of which are funnel-shaped. These clouds are supercell cumulonimbus clouds produced by cold and warm air currents, so tornadoes are bred.

The terrain is flat, the sky is prone to weather convection, and the frequency of tornadoes is relatively high, such as the northeast plain, North China plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China.

2. Emergency treatment and measures in case of tornado.

When there is a tornado, scientific and calm response is a good method.

If you are outdoors, you must run in the opposite direction of the tornado path. In order to avoid the damage caused by tornadoes, objects such as billboards, trees, telephone poles and telecommunication towers must also be kept away.

If you were at home, close the doors and windows at the same time, cut off the electrical appliances and kitchen utensils at home, and then choose a corner or bathroom to hide. You can move freely after a tornado.

3. Treatment and response after tornado.

The process of tornado is extremely destructive, and many objects will be torn to pieces, then sucked into the sky and thrown down. So after the tornado, all kinds of cleaning will be carried out when everything is calm.

For some places with hidden dangers, it is necessary to clean them up after power failure.

Some broken walls may collapse or fall at any time, so try to set your seat belt before cleaning.

This time, a tornado appeared in Conghua District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, which is still rare. However, as a special weather, we still need to be vigilant and pay attention to avoid the harm and influence caused by its appearance.
