Hazard Analysis of Severe Convective Weather in Guangdong Province, China

A hazard model of severe convective weather was constructed on the basis of meteorological observational data obtained in Guangdong Province between 2003 and 2015. In the analysis, quality control was first conducted on the severe convective weather data, and the kriging method was then used to interpolate each hazard-formative factor, the weights of which were determined by applying the coefficient of variation method. The results were used to establish the hazard-formative factor model of severe convective weather. The cities showing the greatest hazards for severe convective weather in Guangdong Province include Yangjiang, Dongguan, Foshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, and Qingyuan.
