How did the tornado form in Guangzhou's Baiyun?
On April 28th, hail occurred in the Zengcheng and Panyu districts of Guangzhou, while tornadoes were reported in Baiyun District. According to the meteorological department, the warm and humid airflow from the southwestern South China Sea has been continuously strengthening, delivering a large amount of water vapor and energy to Guangzhou. The city's weather has been in a state of instability due to high temperatures and humidity for a long time, with a significant amount of unstable energy accumulating near the ground, creating favorable conditions for the generation of tornadoes.
