Classification standard of meteorological disaster early warning in Yunnan Province (provincial level)

Annex 2

Terminology explanation

Meteorological disasters:Disasters caused directly and indirectly by weather and climate are the most frequent and serious natural disasters. There are many kinds of meteorological disasters in Yunnan, including rainstorm, blizzard, cold wave, strong wind, high temperature, frost, fog, road icing, strong convection (lightning), hail and drought.

Heavy rain:Rains with considerable rainfall intensity and amount will cause floods, landslides, mudslides and other disasters. The standard is that the accumulated precipitation is 50 mm or more (≥50 mm) within 24 hours, or 30 mm or more (≥30 mm) within 12 hours. Among them, the accumulated precipitation within 24 hours is more than or equal to 100 mm and less than 250 mm (100 mm and less than 250 mm), and the accumulated precipitation within 24 hours is more than or equal to 250 mm (≥250 mm).

Blizzard:Snow with considerable snowfall intensity and quantity will do harm to agriculture and animal husbandry, transportation, electricity and communication facilities. Its standard is that the accumulated precipitation of pure snow reaches 10 mm or more (≥10 mm) in 24 hours, or the accumulated precipitation of pure snow reaches 6 mm or more (≥6 mm) in 12 hours.

Cold wave:Large-scale invasion of cold air from polar regions or cold regions to middle and low latitudes. The weather phenomena such as strong wind and cooling will do harm to agriculture and animal husbandry, transportation, human health and energy supply.

Gale:Refers to the wind with an average wind force greater than 6 (> 6) and a gust wind force greater than 7 (> 7), which will cause harm to agriculture, transportation, water operations, building facilities and construction operations.

High temperature:It refers to the weather phenomenon that the maximum daily temperature is above 35℃ (> 35℃), which may cause harm to agriculture, electricity and human health.

Frost:Meteorological disasters in which the temperature of soil surface or plant surface drops to 0℃ or below (≤0℃), resulting in plant damage and even death.

Fog:The weather phenomenon that tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere close to the ground significantly reduce visibility will do harm to traffic, electricity and human health.

Road icing:It refers to the weather phenomenon that rain, snow and fog freeze into ice on roads due to low temperature, which may cause harm to traffic, electricity and communication facilities.

Lightning:Refers to the phenomenon of atmospheric discharge accompanied by lightning and thunder, often accompanied by strong gusts, local heavy precipitation, and sometimes accompanied by hail and tornado.

Hail:Hail, also known as hail, is a weather phenomenon, which refers to hard spherical, conical or irregular solid precipitation, which will do harm to agriculture, personal safety and outdoor facilities.

Drought:It refers to the phenomenon that long-term lack of rain or little rain leads to dry soil and air, which will do harm to agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, water conservancy and drinking water for people and livestock.
