China's National Meteorological Center (NMC) has raised a “rainbow” of weather alerts as extreme conditions threaten huge swaths of the country. From blizzards to sandstorms, here’s the breakdown of what’s unfolding :
Orange Alert: Wind Fury 
Strong gusts hitting 12+ magnitude are sweeping across northern areas, including Inner Mongolia and Hebei. Roads? Expect delays !
Yellow Alerts Double Trouble 
A severe convective weather warning (think thunderstorms, hail, and tornado risks) is in effect for central provinces like Hubei and Hunan, while heavy snowstorms blanket parts of Xinjiang and Tibet. Stay indoors if you can !
Blue Alert: Sandstorm Invasion 
Dust clouds are rolling into regions like Gansu and Ningxia, turning skies orange. Mask up, allergy crew! Health risks are sky-high .
Why This Matters 
Over 200 million people live in affected zones, disrupting travel, agriculture, and daily life. Meteorologists blame a polar jet stream clash with warm air masses—climate change’s calling card . “Residents should avoid nonessential travel,” the NMC warned.
