China’s National Meteorological Center (NMC) issued a yellow fog alert on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, warning of reduced visibility and travel disruptions across multiple regions. Thick fog is forecast to blanket parts of Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, the Sichuan Basin, and Chongqing from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning.
⚠️ Visibility in some areas, including Hebei, Henan, the Sichuan Basin, and Chongqing, could drop below 200 meters—equivalent to two soccer fields! Authorities have urged drivers to slow down, while airports, highways, and ports are implementing safety protocols to avoid delays.
China’s three-tier fog warning system (red, orange, yellow) places this alert at the lowest level, but travelers are advised to check real-time updates. Pro tip: Charge your devices and pack patience if you’re heading out this week!
