2015 Hainan Drought
Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate the damage that cause from tornado damage.
A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground.
Heavy Rain is defined as rainfall greater than or equal to 50 mm in past 24 hours.
In most cases, fog is most likely to form, and most likely to be at its peak density during the early morning hours.
Chilling injury is damage to plant parts caused by temperatures above the freezing point (32°F, 0°C).
A cold wave is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by a cooling of the air.
In 2015, Hainan was hit by the worst drought since it began meteorological records in 1959.
