YOGYAKARTA What is the squad line can be understood as one of the weather phenomena that recently occurred in Indonesia. In fact, the squall line phenomenon is the trigger for the Semarang roundabout, Central Java and its surroundings.

Apart from the flooding that occurred in Semarang, this article will provide information about the squall line phenomenon and its impacts.

Quoted from the 'weatherandradar' website, the squad line is a collection of lightning lines that form line lines that produce heavy as well as intense rain. Although only in the form of a garus, the squad line can reach hundreds of kilometers in length. Some sources say that the range of the squad line width can reach 16 to 33 kilometers.

The squall line is quite common in the environment and the weather is unstable, namely when the cold air rises to trigger dew and cloud formation. The air that blows upward will trigger its growth continuously.

Clouds tend to start from cumulonimbus clouds, namely the towering type of convective clouds, while the shape is covered like a cauliflower. The clouds are also an indication that there will be rain and thunderstorms.

The Squid line has a certain impact on the weather of an area. Here are some of the possible impacts along with the appearance of the squad line, quoted fromweather.

The quall line is almost accompanied by strong winds. The wind strength depends on many variables such as atmospheric stability, as well as how much wind power above ground level.

Usually the squad line is strong enough to produce strong enough gusts of wind to overthrow trees or poles that are designed high. The wind can also eject ice grains that fall from the sky quickly. The ice sheet can damage the object it reaches.

The squall line can also trigger a tornado that occurs quickly. The appearance of a tornado can occur overnight accompanied by rain. Although not all squad lines can trigger the emergence of tornadoes, it is necessary to watch out for because the appearance of tornadoes can still occur with severe destructive impacts.

Very high rainfall can appear along with the squall line. When severe rain occurs, visibility can be very short. Even these conditions can appear in just seconds. When that happens, try to immediately seek protection. Find a safe place to avoid any debris.

In addition to rain, the squad line can also trigger thousands of lightning strikes. Lightning strikes vary for half an hour or longer after the storm lines and strong winds pass. When thunderstorms occur, avoid contact with electric devices, cable phones, and metal pipes while indoors.

It is also recommended to find out tips for taking cover from hurricanes to stay safe.
