圖片說(shuō)明

Light snow and sleet fell in Beijing Saturday morning, breaking the city's longest dry spell in at least 47 years, according to the municipal meteorological observatory.

3月17日，北京出現(xiàn)小雪和雨夾雪天氣。市氣象部門表示，本次降雪結(jié)束了北京至少47年以來(lái)最長(zhǎng)的干旱記錄。

Dry spell指“干旱期”，這里的spell意為“一段時(shí)間”，比如，hot spell(連續(xù)高溫天氣)，a spell of summer heat(持續(xù)一段時(shí)間的炙熱天氣)等。

As of Friday, the capital had recorded 145 consecutive days without "effective precipitation" .

截止3月16日，北京連續(xù)無(wú)有效降水日數(shù)已經(jīng)達(dá)145天。

有效降水(effective precipitation)指的是日降水量大于或等于0.1毫米(precipitation of more than 0.1 mm in one day)。據(jù)南郊觀象臺(tái)的記錄，當(dāng)日上午9點(diǎn)，北京市城區(qū)的平均降水量為0.3毫米。
