[Method] By using Micaps conventional data and the single station site information of Beihai, radar data, a strong convective weather process in Beihai City in August, 2010 was analyzed. [Result] 850 and 700 hPa cyclonic low-pressure circulation in the north of Vietnam and Beibu Gulf coast was favorable for the transportation of Bengal Bay southwest airflow, which provided the sufficient water vapor condition for the strong precipitation. The interaction of weak cold air and southeast warm wet airflow was the main cause of the strong rainfall process. The falling zone of strong precipitation related to the water vapor convergence. The maintenance of water vapor flux divergence field in southeast-northwest direction was favorable for the duration of strong precipitation in the south of Guangxi. Before the strong precipitation, the positive and negative vorticity in the high and low levels in Beihai station both abruptly strengthened, which was very favorable for generating the convection. The vertical velocity in the strong precipitation process turned from the positive value at the beginning into the negative value as the height variation. The turning had the indicated and early-warning roles on the generation of strong convective weather. [Conclusion] The research provided the theory basis for the strong convective weather forecast in Guangxi coast in summer.展开更多
