Comprehensive analysis believes that in October, the risk of floods and hail disasters is higher in some areas such as central China, southern China, and southwest China, and some small and medium-sized rivers may experience super-warning floods; there are1—2Typhoons have made landfall in China or may significantly affect our country; local forest fire danger levels in North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China, Southwest China, and Northwest China are relatively high, and grassland fire danger levels are relatively high in parts of Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and Xinjiang; geological disaster risks are relatively high in some areas such as North China, East China, Central South, Southwest, and Northwest China; periodic droughts may occur in some areas such as Northwest China and Inner Mongolia.During the National Day holiday, we need to focus on risks such as floods, wind and hail, forest and grassland fires, and geological disasters.The details are as follows:

First, the risk of floods and wind and hail disasters.It is expected that in October, precipitation in southern Henan, central and southern Anhui, western Zhejiang, western Fujian, Jiangxi, most of Hubei, Hunan, eastern Chongqing, most of Guizhou, southern Yunnan, Guangxi, western Guangxi, and southwestern Xinjiang will be more than 20% higher than the same period in normal years, and eastern Hubei, southwestern Anhui, northwestern Jiangxi, most of Hunan, northern Guangxi, eastern Guizhou, and southeastern Chongqing will have an excess of 50% to 80% more precipitation than the same period in normal years.Periodic heavy rains or strong convective weather may occur frequently in the above-mentioned areas, and the risk of floods and hail disasters is high. Some small and medium-sized rivers may experience floods exceeding warning levels.

The second is the risk of typhoon disaster.It is expected that in October, 3 to 4 typhoons will be generated in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea, which is close to the same period of the year; 1 to 2 typhoons will land or significantly affect our country. The intensity of typhoons is generally strong and moving.The path is mainly northwestward and westward, mainly affecting the coastal areas of South China; one disastrous typhoon storm surge process and one disastrous temperate storm surge process may occur along the coast of my country; 4-5 disastrous wave processes may occur in offshore waters.

The third is the risk of forest and grassland fires.It is expected that in October, western and northern Beijing, western and northern Hebei, northern Shanxi, eastern Inner Mongolia, eastern and western Liaoning, eastern Jilin, northern Heilongjiang, western Zhejiang, southern Anhui, most of Fujian, central and northern Jiangxi, central and eastern Shandong,The forest fire danger level is relatively high in some areas such as eastern Hubei, eastern Hunan, western Sichuan, eastern Tibet, central and northern Shaanxi, central Gansu, eastern Qinghai, most of Ningxia, and northern Xinjiang. The grassland fire danger level is relatively high in some areas such as eastern Inner Mongolia, eastern Qinghai, and northern Xinjiang.

Fourth is the risk of geological disasters.It is expected that in October, the risk of geological disasters will be higher in some areas such as western Shanxi, western Zhejiang, northern Fujian, northeastern and western Jiangxi, western Hubei, central Hunan, western Guangxi, northern and eastern Guangxi, northern, central and eastern Chongqing, central Sichuan, northwest and southeastern Guizhou, northeastern and southern Yunnan, northern and southwestern Shaanxi, central and eastern Gansu, and northeastern Qinghai.

Fifth is the risk of drought disaster.It is expected that in October, the temperature in central and southern Guangdong, eastern Guangxi, Hainan, western Inner Mongolia, most of Ningxia, most of Gansu, most of Qinghai, parts of northern Sichuan, and most of Xinjiang will be 1-2°C higher than the same period in normal years.; Precipitation in western Inner Mongolia, northern Shaanxi, northern Ningxia, parts of western Sichuan, and eastern Tibet is 2-50% less than the same period in normal years. Periodic droughts may occur in some areas such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, and Shaanxi.

During the National Day holiday, heavy rainfall and strong convective weather in some areas such as the eastern part of Southwest China may cause floods and hail disasters; some areas in Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Shandong, and Xinjiang have higher forest fire risk levels.Grassland fire danger levels are relatively high in parts of Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang; Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other places have a higher risk of local geological disasters.The National Day holiday coincides with the peak travel period. All localities and departments must pay close attention to the adverse effects of various natural disasters on transportation, outdoor activities, and agricultural production.
