Abstract: The present paper has made a review of recent progress on studies of rainstorms and meso-scale meteorology. including: (1) genesis conditions of rainstorms: (2) the conceptual model of the severe local storms and MCS: (3) meso-scale numerical simulation: (4) meso-scale dynamics and (5) prediction of rainstorms. The future study on rainstorm and meso-scale meteorology has been also suggested.
