According to the Southern Hydrometeorological Station, from December 11 to 15, there will be an unseasonal rainstorm, with some places experiencing heavy rain. The situation causing thunderstorms is due to the continental cold high pressure continuing to strengthen to the South. People should be aware that thunderstorms can cause tornadoes, lightning, and strong gusts of wind, causing dangerous weather and property damage.
