The meteorological department explains why the autumn rain in West China lasts for two months (2026·09·18)
Debunking the rumor that “500 pigs died in a pig farm in Mianyang, Sichuan in one day” is untrue
Details: Recently, a netizen posted a post saying, "There is a large pig farm in Santai, Mianyang, Sichuan. More than 500 pigs died in one day. The pig farmers nearby are worried every day." After verification by the local Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, the content of the post was untrue. There have been no recent reports of concentrated pig disease or abnormal deaths. The amount of harmless treatment of livestock and poultry has remained stable, with no significant fluctuations in the past three weeks. The online report that "500 pigs died in one day" is not true.

Debunking the rumor that "the Qinghai Lake fence blocks the view and charges for enclosing the lake" is untrue
Details: On the Internet platform, there is a widely circulated saying that "the fence around the lake is all used to encircle the lake to collect fees, and self-driving cars cannot go near the Qinghai Lake". In this regard, staff of the Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve said that the "net fence" along the line is the most basic production and property rights facility in the grassland and pastoral area, rather than a "special fence" for Qinghai Lake. The truth is not that "Qinghai Lake is fenced off", but that "Qinghai Lake is located in a grassland pastoral area." Net fences are common facilities in pastoral areas and are by no means exclusive to Qinghai Lake. The lakeshore area cannot be entered at will. The core basis is the laws and regulations of nature reserves, not "capital monopoly lake charges". (Source: Xinhuanet)
Popular Science Why is this "final rain" that has lasted for two months gentle and dangerous?
Details: In the late summer and early autumn, the main rainy season in the north gradually comes to an end, and most parts of the country are ushering in crisp autumn weather. However, the West China region of my country has ushered in the last round of "final precipitation" in the monsoon rain belt - the West China Autumn Rain. Autumn rain in West China is a special weather phenomenon of continuous rainy weather in autumn (September to November) in West my country, mainly involving Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Sichuan and other places. It is characterized by intensive rainy days and repeated rainy days. So, why is this "final rain" so "puzzling"?
After entering autumn, although the northwest Pacific subtropical high has retreated eastward and southward, its western edge still maintains strong southerly airflow, transporting warm and moist water vapor from the Bay of Bengal and the South China Sea to the West China region. At the same time, cold air from mid- to high-latitudes began to "visit" frequently southward. Warm and cold airflows meet here. Due to differences in wind speed and density, quasi-stationary fronts or low-level shear lines are often formed. The frontal convergence zone is stable and less mobile for a long time, so the precipitation area is maintained for a long time.
In addition, the terrain further amplifies this effect: the terrain on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau drops sharply, and the Qinling Mountains run east and west, effectively blocking the southward cold air, slowing its movement and intensifying its accumulation, firmly "pinning" precipitation to specific areas; the complex terrain of the Sichuan Basin also forces low-level warm and moist airflows to rise along the terrain, strengthening convergent upward motion, which is conducive to the occurrence of local heavy precipitation. It is difficult for cold air to penetrate deeply, and it is difficult for warm and humid air to continue to move northward. This coordinated "locking" of atmospheric circulation and terrain is the key reason why the autumn rain in West China "stays for a long time".
When looking at the autumn rains in West China, don't just focus on the amount of rainfall in a single day. The real risk lies in the cumulative rainfall effect. Multiple rounds of sustained precipitation have caused the soil moisture to continuously accumulate, and the water content gradually becomes saturated. Even if there is only light rain or sporadic precipitation in the later period, it may lead to landslides, collapses, and mudslides; it is also necessary to be alert to local flash floods in ravine areas. It is worth noting that geological disasters have an obvious hysteresis - after the rain has passed and the weather has cleared, the risk will not disappear immediately, but will often last for several days or even longer, so we need to continue to be vigilant. Therefore, the public should promptly pay attention to the forecast and warning information released by the meteorological department on a rolling basis, especially the latest forecast and geological disaster meteorological risk warning from the local meteorological station, and reasonably arrange travel according to the warning level, take preventive measures, and effectively ensure their own safety.

Pay attention to the Central Cyberspace Administration of China to strengthen the management of enterprise-related infringement information and optimize the business network environment
Details: Recently, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Enterprise-Related Infringement Information and Continuously Promoting the Optimization of the Business Network Environment", which clarifies that website platforms should, in accordance with the requirements of the notice, improve the information content management system, improve and optimize platform community rules, include enterprise-related information within the scope of daily content review and disposal, strengthen account and MCN organization management, and effectively enhance the initiative, pertinence and effectiveness of work.
Among them, the notice lists five types of disposal scope:
1. Personal information. This includes leaking personal identity and contact information such as entrepreneurs’ ID cards, passports, household registration files, home addresses, and phone numbers, as well as sensitive personal information such as biometrics, medical health, financial accounts, and whereabouts.
2. Insult and derogatory. This includes insulting and abusing companies and entrepreneurs, spoofing and vilifying corporate logos, products and entrepreneur portraits, maliciously linking companies and entrepreneurs with pornographic and vulgar topics, and using stigmatizing words to slander companies, entrepreneurs or specific brand users.
3. Counterfeiting. This includes enterprise-related supervision information produced and released by counterfeit news units, information released in the name of an enterprise or entrepreneur, and the unauthorized use of names, logos, or entrepreneurs’ names and portraits that are the same or similar to those of the enterprise in public account names, avatars, and profiles.
4. False and misleading. This includes taking out of context and distorting the past remarks of entrepreneurs, presenting search keyword associations and search landing page results that are inconsistent with the facts, false information that has been authoritatively refuted and clarified, and information that is inconsistent with public statements issued by the official accounts of enterprises and entrepreneurs on super-large platforms.
5. Other categories. This includes information about companies that are trolling and provoking war, gathering old corporate news and negative information that have been stirred up, information about corporate infringements that have been processed by this platform, and information about corporate comments posted by robot accounts and online troll accounts, which are obviously against public order and good customs to smear and slander companies and entrepreneurs.
