Does Typhoon Lotus have an impact on Dongguan, Guangdong?

The third tropical storm this year is called "Lotus". It is predicted that in the next two days, "Lotus" will slowly move to the northeast, which will have a certain impact on the coastal areas of eastern Guangdong. At present, there is little threat to Dongguan, but its moving path is uncertain, and Dongguan cannot relax.

Since yesterday, Dongguan has entered a state of war. Yesterday 1 1, at the Dongguan Branch of the Lotus Video Conference on the Prevention of Tropical Storm No.3 this year, Vice Mayor Li Xiaomei announced that Dongguan had launched a four-level emergency response.

forecast

It will continue to be hot in the next two days.

Lotus was formed in the South China Sea on 17. At 7 o'clock yesterday morning, the Lotus Center was located on the sea about 630 kilometers southeast of Dongguan. The maximum wind force near the center is 8, reaching the wind speed of 18 meters per second, and the lowest pressure in the center is 998 hectopascals.

In the past, the monitoring of "Lotus" found that it moved less, moved slowly, and the wind distribution was asymmetric. The Municipal Meteorological Bureau predicts that in the next 24 hours, "Lotus" will slowly move to the northeast and move to the area near the Taiwan Province Strait, and its intensity will be weakened. Affected by "Lotus", on the night of 19, the sea surface in eastern Guangdong turned to northeast wind, and the wind gradually increased to 5 ~ 7, with a gust of 8. The meteorological department hopes that ships passing by the sea and relevant parties will pay attention.

Affected by the downward airflow around the tropical storm, Dongguan will continue to have hot weather in the next two days. "It is estimated that the maximum temperature may reach 36 C," said the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Meteorological Bureau.

Prevention and control

Dongguan launched a four-level response

Experts predict that 5-6 tropical cyclones will land or affect Guangdong this year. Among them, typhoon 1 2 has a strong wind force, and the first typhoon will appear in the middle and late June. The appearance of "Lotus" is basically in line with the forecast. This means that "Lotus" is the first tropical cyclone that may affect Guangdong this year. "'Lotus' means that Dongguan has officially entered the typhoon season." Li Xiaomei said.

"From the analysis of the current monitoring situation,' Lotus' has little impact on Dongguan." Li Xiaomei didn't relax when he said this. Because the typhoon in the South China Sea has the characteristics of changeable direction, changeable path and fast development process, it is difficult to say whether the typhoon is far from Dongguan and whether the path will change.

In Li Xiaomei's view, it is an extraordinary period to prevent typhoons, and no unit or individual can treat it lightly. "Dongguan officially launched a four-level emergency response against typhoon." Li Xiaomei announced.

At the same time, Dongguan has officially entered a state of war.

2 1 flood control works to be repaired

Although the threat of "Lotus" is not too great at present, Dongguan has just experienced "Dragon Boat Water". The continuous heavy rainfall has caused the river water level to rise, some Shantang reservoirs are full, and some water-damaged projects have not been completely repaired. If the typhoon brings strong winds and heavy rains, it may cause secondary disasters such as flash floods, mudslides and landslides.

By June, 15, 49 of the 70 hidden danger projects in Dongguan had been rectified. "All relevant units should seize the time to implement funds and coordinate solutions." Li Xiaomei asked. In addition to the water damage project, Shantang Reservoir should also strengthen inspections.

Li Xiaomei said frankly that there was a lot of rain some time ago, and now the reservoirs in Dongguan are full. Every day, it is necessary to master the water storage situation of small (type I) or above reservoirs, and all reservoirs that exceed the flood limit water level will reduce the water level to below the flood limit water level. "Songmushan Reservoir, in particular, needs to vacate its storage capacity to ensure safety.
