From Liaoning Meteorological Observatory we learn that
Liaoning's main flood season in 2004 has got concluded.
This year Liaoning
Province's main flood season started from July 18th and lasted
31 days. Compared with previous years, this year's flood season
came a bit earlier and ended a bit later, 10 days more than
previous years.
In this main flood season, local rainstorm was commonly seen;
the largest rainfall volume in one day was 166 millimeters in Dawa
County. Till August 16th, the average rainfall was 184.6
millimeters, almost the same as pervious years. No flood disaster
occurred in Liaoning province.
It is predicted till the end of August, most regions in Liaoning
will have less than 30 to 40 percent rainfall volume; the moisture
of the land will be decreased. But under a certain weather
condition, strong rainfall will still be possibly seen.
