On the first day of March, a coastal province issued the first severe convective warning of the year.
Before this, the local meteorological department had issued relevant warnings, but this time the warning was more detailed.
Hail caused by severe convective weather occurred in some local areas, which had an adverse impact on local spring sowing production and outdoor activities. Fortunately, there was early warning and local precautions were taken.
Afterwards, many videos shot by local residents were exposed online.
In the picture, the pedestrians who were avoiding the hail hurriedly found shelter, and then hurriedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Turning the camera around, eight out of ten are the type who "don't panic and take out their phones when faced with problems", and the remaining two are foodies.
Regarding the videos on the Internet about various meteorological disasters caused by severe convective weather, Feng Yi said—
"It's not me! It has nothing to do with me!"
This is not trying to pass the buck, this really wasn't his fault.
This is something Director He emphasized during the meeting. The climate fluctuations were predicted last year and warnings had been issued long ago.
However, we can only predict possible fluctuations, but cannot predict the exact time or what events will occur. We can only make adequate preparations in advance.
Perfect predictions do not exist, and the laws of nature are still not fully understood by people.
Also, climate predictions are different from weather forecasts.
Climate forecasting is to infer the possible trend of climate development in a certain period of time in the future based on the evolution of past climate, such as the cold winter or warm winter predicted in October last year.
Climate forecasts must take into account the impact of factors such as the atmosphere, ocean, and biosphere, including the impact of human activities.
The weather forecast is an estimate of the weather changes in the next period of time based on the state of atmospheric changes and recent weather conditions. For example, when you open a mobile phone app, you can see the weather conditions in the next week or fifteen days.
The relevant departments have been paying attention to climate fluctuations. With 20 years of experience in abnormal climate, they can respond calmly to small fluctuations and will not panic even if they encounter some emergencies.
Feng Yi did not spend too much time paying attention to the hail weather in a coastal province.
The closer it gets to Jingzhe, the stronger the feeling of shedding becomes. I don’t go out and stay at home every day.
If you have difficulty moving, you can lie down in the bedroom and look through the task list of the Joint Security Bureau.
Sitting cross-legged is impossible, and at the same time, I have to stop picking my feet... no, I have to stop wagging my tail. I have to stop the bad habit of wagging my tail.
He took a fancy to a mission involving sea snakes. It was somewhat dangerous, but it would earn him a lot of points.
What he values are points. Once the money from the ancestral company arrives, he can spend some points to buy another batch of instruments to fill the underground laboratory.
The timing is just right, after Jingzhe is over and the skin is shed, you can rest for a while.
However, Feng Yi did not take on the task immediately. He waited until the Waking of Insects was over. If no one took the task by then, he would take it.
Another place in Yangcheng, a villa area close to the suburbs.
Feng Chi was listening to the construction workers explain the reasons for suspending construction.
"It will rain soon. Also, according to the weather forecast, the humidity will be high during the Waking of Insects period, which is not suitable for rushing work..."
According to Fengchi's requirements and model quality standards, this kind of weather is not conducive to the production of the outdoor part, but other auxiliary and modifying work can be done first, and the model in the shelter that has been initially formed can be repaired and maintained.
But in this case, the construction period will have to be postponed for a few more days, which cannot meet Fengchi’s desire of “as soon as possible”.
Feng Chi looked at the sky, then checked the weather app on his phone, and responded reluctantly.
Weather changes cannot be controlled and plans cannot keep up with changes.
It has rained in the past two days, but it was just a few drops or a drizzle that disappeared after a while.
The weather forecast said that there would be a thunderstorm around the Waking of Insects. Feng Chi didn't take it seriously. It was just a thunderstorm at the beginning of spring. How big could it be
But no matter what, the postponement is certain.
"Then we'll decide when to continue after the Waking of Insects based on weather conditions. Thunder and rain are definitely not conducive to construction," Feng Chi said.
Another model maker nearby also said, "The Jingzhe period is a thunderstorm. When I was a child, my elders said, 'There will be thunder during the Jingzhe period, and there will be many insects and snakes.' This is thunder and rain. The climate is getting warmer in spring, and all kinds of snakes and insects will come out of hibernation."
The older man smiled and said, "Your hometown is not in Yangcheng, right? In Yangcheng's climate, do snakes hibernate in winter? Even if they do hibernate, they will only rest during a short period of time when the temperature drops. They won't hibernate for such a long time in other places with low temperatures."
Even if the temperature in Yangcheng does not drop, snakes do not hibernate in winter, and there are basically no snakes in the area where Fengchi lives. As for mosquitoes, the property management and community regularly deal with them to drive away possible insects and snakes and optimize the living environment for residents.
But it is obvious that Feng Chi has his own ideas.
If there is no snake, just create one. Although it is not a living creature, it is big enough.
Create an atmosphere of "coming out of hibernation".
The day before Jingzhe.
Feng Yi was not in the mood to check his phone. He felt uncomfortable all over and was in a low mood.
The pupils of his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blue and white film, obstructing his vision. However, this did not affect Feng Yi's daily life. He could still identify objects without vision, and his super sensitive sense of smell allowed him to "see" everything clearly. The odor information emitted by the material world could not escape the olfactory system.
Starting from lunch that day, Feng Yi didn't eat much.
Instead of going to the stone path, we went to the underground pool, where a lot of water had been drained away, leaving only a shallow layer of stones at the bottom of the pool.
It was not yet time for him to shed his skin, so Feng Yi lay down inside to rest, his stiff and bulky tail moving from time to time. The temperature and humidity here were more suitable for his current state, and the hardness of the stone was also suitable, like a massage, and it didn't feel uncomfortable.
Feng Yi was brewing inside, Xiao Wu did not go in to disturb him, but stayed outside, seemingly calm, but the flashing light in his eyes revealed his excitement. He said he would follow up and observe, and this was an opportunity that Xiao Ji and Xiao Geng could not get!
Outside, it rained a little this morning, and the sun came out in the afternoon, but it didn't last long.
The sunlight seemed to be pushed away by the clouds and slowly disappeared above the city.
A cat basking in the sun in a courtyard looked at the sky and reluctantly went back into the house, as if it hated this gloomy and humid weather very much.
A car was passing by on the road.
Inside the car, the person in the driver's seat was concentrating on the road, while the person in the passenger seat was playing games on his mobile phone.
After the round was over, the man in the passenger seat stretched his shoulders to relax his optic nerves, and looked out the window. Then, with eyes wide open, he leaned close to the window and screamed, "Tornado!"
"Nonsense! How can there be a tornado at this time of year..."
The driver wanted to laugh, but he glanced to the side. This glance startled him so much that he almost turned the steering wheel off.
Not daring to be distracted, they drove the car to a nearby parking space, got out hurriedly, and found a place to observe.
In the distant sky, it looked like a tentacle was sticking out from the clouds, but this "tentacle" was still hanging high in the sky and had not yet fallen.
"It must be a tornado! It looks like one!"
"This... should have just rolled up and is in the process of forming. It hasn't touched the ground yet, so it can't be considered a tornado. That location should be Cuihu Lake? Is it going to be a 'dragon sucking water'? But it's not normal to appear at this time of year!"
"Who cares if it's normal or not! Let's go! Go to Green Lake! Take a closer look!"
Anyway, they had nothing else to do later, and it was a rare spectacle to see, so of course they wanted to take a closer look!
At this time, a group of people gathered by the Cuihu Lake. Some were out for a walk, while others were just passing by. After seeing the scene in the sky, they came over and took pictures with their mobile phones.
This place is quite far from where the tornado formed, and you can't feel the violent airflow there, but you can still feel a sense of fear when you are close to it. For the sake of life safety, some people quickly moved away after taking the photos. No one knows whether the "tentacles" in the air will extend to their vicinity when they continue to touch the ground.
The bold ones not only took photos and videos, but also wanted to find a boat to get closer to the center of the lake. The person in charge of the Cuihu Scenic Area stepped forward to dissuade them and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.
However, the "tentacle" in the air that reached down lasted for about ten minutes before disappearing. It did not touch the ground until it disappeared, but remained suspended in the air before dissipating.
In Yangcheng area, many people saw the scene in the sky, and the number of videos and photos uploaded to the Internet increased rapidly. Even though they were far away, the clearer pictures brought by technology made the topic of discussion directly become popular.
I saw it in the office this afternoon and was so surprised! [Photo]
Failed to touch down! This tornado is not grounded enough [laughs]
The energy is insufficient. If it can be grounded, then water can be pumped from the Green Lake, right
Upright tubular clouds are one of the rarest types of clouds! This natural wonder is rare, and those who see it are lucky! However, it cannot be considered a tornado without grounding. If you really want to label it as a tornado, it can only be considered a tornado cub.
A baby tornado was captured! [Photo]
Tornado cubs captured from different angles [Picture][Picture][Picture]
What happened to the cub? The cub just wanted to go to Cuihu Lake to drink some water, but you guys were watching and he shrank back shyly [狗头]
May I ask, when will this tornado cub grow up
Don't think about it. It's a mistake to appear at this time of year. You can wait until summer. Go to the coast, and there may be water dragons in some places. It depends on your luck. It is possible that you may not see one for decades.
…
Many people say this is rare.
Of course it’s rare!
Not to mention the local young people, even the elderly who have lived in the local area for decades have never seen it.
The topic of this “tornado cub” ended with a chorus of exclamations and laughter.
Professionals are analyzing the reasons for the formation of this vertical tube cloud. It is indeed a rare case that a tornado that failed to touch the ground occurred at this time of year.
Those who were watching the fun regretted that they couldn't see it with their own eyes and could only satisfy themselves by looking through videos and photos.
Those who have seen it with their own eyes lamented that they didn't get to see a full-fledged tornado or a water dragon.
Everyone treated this as a special, accidental event.
There are still clouds above.
In the distant horizon, the sunset has long been driven away by the clouds.
