【省气象局】8月18日至24日陕西有强降水强对流高温天气过程

Weather Impact on Agriculture - The province is expected to experience strong convective weather, including heavy rainfall and high temperatures, which poses risks to summer crops like corn and soybeans, as well as kiwifruit [1] - High temperatures combined with drought conditions may adversely affect corn pollination, leading to poor grain development, while kiwifruit may suffer from sunburn and wilting leaves [1] - Recommendations include early drainage preparations in low-lying farmland, timely irrigation in high-temperature areas, and enhanced moisture management in kiwifruit orchards [1] Infrastructure and Power Load Concerns - The cumulative rainfall in northern Shaanxi, combined with expected heavy rainfall, increases the risk of secondary disasters such as flash floods and landslides along highways and railways [2] - Authorities are advised to strengthen inspections of critical road segments and implement traffic controls if necessary [2] - Power load in the Guanzhong region is projected to be 15% to 40% higher than the same period in previous years, necessitating careful management of electricity and water supply [2]
