China’s National Meteorological Center has sounded the alarm as heavy rain and severe weather barrel toward more than ten provinces, disrupting daily life and prompting urgent evacuations. From Heilongjiang to Yunnan, regions are bracing for torrential downpours, with some areas expecting over 300 mm of rainfall—equivalent to a month’s worth of rain in just hours! 💦
Eastern Guangxi, coastal Guangdong, and parts of Hebei could see hourly rainfall exceeding 80 mm, raising risks of flash floods and landslides. Authorities in Hebei’s Xinglong County have already evacuated seven villages, setting up temporary shelters with 800+ beds and emergency supplies. 🏚️→🏫
But it’s not just rain: hailstorms and gale-force winds (up to 62 mph!) are set to slam northwestern and southeastern China. Imagine TikTok-worthy weather… but way less fun. 📸❌
Orange alerts for geological disasters are active in Gansu, Beijing, and Qinghai, where mountain slopes could turn into mudslides. Pro tip from officials: Avoid hiking or river valleys—this isn’t the week for that #NatureGram adventure. 🚫🌄
With climate extremes becoming the new normal, this storm serves as a reminder to stay weather-aware. Follow local advisories, and keep those umbrellas handy! ☔
