 It is important to study the characteristics of precipitation anomaly in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to improve the understanding and prediction ability of precipitation in the autumn extended period. In recent years, the phenomenon of“ summer rain in autumn” has occurred frequently in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, showing the characteristics of precipitation intensity increase and more extreme precipitation in autumn. The autumn precipitation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2021 was the most since 1981, and the precipitation at many stations in October of 2021 broke the historical extreme values. Based on daily precipitation data in autumn and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Morlet wavelet analysis and Lanczos filtering methods were used to analyze the low-frequency oscillation period of autumn precipitation and the evolution of atmospheric low-frequency circulation characteristics in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2021 in order to explore its abnormal characteristics. The results show that the main low-frequency oscillation period of autumn precipitation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2021 is 10-20 days, and the variance of low-frequency oscillation is 44%. The low frequency circulation at 500 hPa during the low frequency precipitation activity period shows that there is convergence movement before the low-pressure anomaly, which is conducive to the strengthening of the low-level anomaly cyclone and upward movement. During the low frequency precipitation activity period, an abnormal cyclone moves northward from the South China Sea to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, which was conducive to the transport of warm and humid air from the south to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The intensity of water vapor transport will affect the intensity of precipitation process. The stronger the intensity of water vapor transport is, the greater the intensity of precipitation is.

A torrential rain and hail stroke Shijiazhuang on July 26,2011. The strong and cold air flow on 500 hPa and above resulted in sharp shifts of synoptic situation at high altitude in twelve hours,with short wave trough moving southward rapidly,which caused the failure of radiosonde observation and numerical forecast. Based on other monitoring data,obvious characteristics of the dramatic changing weather were analyzed. Firstly,according to satellite images,the comma cloud above the Great Bend of the Huanghe River had long and stout tail,with a tendency of developing southward. The dark area at the rear part of clouds indicated the intrusion of dry cold air,which developed into convective clouds with warm and moist air at low altitude. The tail fracture suggested the acceleration of moving southward of cold air. Secondly,the Shijiazhuang single station element variation showed that the surface potential pseudo equivalent temperature was 8 ℃ higher than the normal value,which indicated abnormal instability energy. Strong convective weather with the largest precipitation was located in the intensive zone of pseudo equivalent potential temperature,which reached 90 ℃ at the energy center. The difference of pseudo equivalent potential temperature within 100 km was more than 25 ℃. Finally,the radar echoes arranged zonally from the southwest to the northeast with the strongest echo of 65 dBZ in the front. Gust front formed before the strongecho,its maximum positive and negative speed were both larger than 20 m/ s. The squall line moved from west to east and its path and intensity ditermined the path and intensity of precipitation and hail. The transformation of wind direction and formation of surface convergence line were 21 min and 30 min ahead of the precipitation,respectively.
