六七月间,本是江淮地区的“梅雨”季节,几个月前,人们就做好了防大汛、抗大洪的各种精神和物质准备。然而,老天爷却给他们开了个玩笑。如同1991年夏季一条雨带死死缠在江淮上空一样,1994年的酷暑盛夏,一片副热带高压紧紧地扣在江淮大地上。持续60多天干旱无雨,持续60多天高温蒸发,造成江淮大地大部分水塘干涸,沟渠断流,湖堰龟裂,庄稼焦枯,人畜无水可饮。 During June and July, this was the “rainy season” of the Jianghuai region. A few months ago, people were ready for all kinds of spiritual and material preparations against floods and flood threats. However, God gave them a joke. As in the rainy summer of 1991 wrapped tightly over the Jianghuai River, in summer of 1994, a subtropical high tightly fastened on the earth on the JAC. Lasting more than 60 days drought without rain, lasting more than 60 days of high temperature evaporation, resulting in most of the JAC vast reservoirs dried up, ditches cut off, lake crackers, crops dry, human and animal drinkable water.
