Southern and eastern China are bracing for intense rainstorms, thunderstorms, and possible tornadoes as the National Meteorological Center (NMC) issued yellow alerts on Thursday. Regions like Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, and Guangdong could see torrential downpours, gales, and hail through Friday afternoon. 🌀
What’s Happening?
This marks the peak of a prolonged wet season, with parts of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Guangdong also expecting damaging winds. The NMC warned of potential flash floods, landslides, and travel disruptions. 🌪️
What’s Next?
Authorities urge residents to monitor alerts closely, avoid flooded roads, and prepare for emergencies. Yellow alerts – third in China’s four-tier system – signal moderate to high risk, but the situation could escalate rapidly. 🚨
Pro tip: Check local advisories before traveling and keep emergency kits handy. Stay dry, folks! ☔️
