Core Tip: 2 1 At noon, Mr. Fu from Pujiang, Zhejiang said that he had filmed a video of snow, and the whole process lasted for nearly 5 minutes. The director of the local meteorological observatory said that the possibility of snow in summer is very small, and whether it is snow or hail needs further analysis.

Zhejiang Online reported on July 23rd that it snowed in July. Can you believe it? At noon the day before yesterday, Mr. Fu, who lives in Yatai Square in Pujiang, called the reporter and said it was snowing there. He photographed the whole process of snow with a digital camera.

At noon that day, Mr. Fu just got home in the scorching sun. Ten minutes later, the wind suddenly blew hard. He was about to close the window when he heard someone shout that it was snowing outside. He thought it was a joke, but on closer inspection, Mr. Fu was a little surprised.

Judging from the video taken by Mr. Fu at that time, the snowflakes were not very dense at first, but a little sparse. Residents downstairs are also curious to pick up falling snowflakes with brooms. Mr. Fu said that the falling snowflake was the size of a fingernail. In the next minute or two, the snowflake became bigger and denser, and in the end it even gave people the illusion that winter and summer were inseparable. "The whole snowfall lasted for nearly 5 minutes, and many people saw this spectacle."

The community security also confirmed Mr. Fu's statement: "I was on duty here and suddenly looked up and saw snowflakes flying. It snows in July, which I think is too sudden. "

So is this snowflake after all? Xia Yuanfeng, director of Pujiang Meteorological Observatory, said: "From the observation data of this station and mesoscale stations, we have not observed the weather phenomenon of snowfall. We can't judge whether it is snow or hail at the moment only by the DV data provided by Fu. Generally speaking, the possibility of snowfall in summer is very small. "

Director Xia introduced that in summer, cold and warm air convection is strong, and some low-level water vapor and ice crystals are lifted to the high-level low-temperature area, forming solid landing, which is what we often call hail. Snowfall can only be formed when the near-surface temperature is zero degrees Celsius. From the video, it really looks like snowflakes floating. If it is hail, it should fall straight. This weather phenomenon is relatively rare and needs further analysis and research. Today morning post
