China’s southern regions are gearing up for wild weather this week as authorities sound the alarm for thunderstorms, hail, and torrential rains 🌩️. The China Meteorological Administration issued dual alerts Monday – a blue alert for severe convective weather and a yellow alert for heavy rainfall – urging residents to prepare for potential flooding and travel disruptions 🚗💨.
Southern provinces like Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian could see wind gusts over 12 on the Beaufort scale (that’s hurricane-level speeds!), along with tennis ball-sized hail 🏓. Meteorologists warn the downpours might dump up to 120mm of rain in just 12 hours – enough to turn streets into rivers 🌊.
While the colorful alert system (blue = least severe, red = most extreme) helps communities prepare, locals are sharing TikTok videos of previous storms as reminders to #WeatherTheStorm 📱. Travelers planning trips to popular southern destinations like Guilin’s karst mountains or Shenzhen’s tech hubs should keep rain gear handy ☔.
