China’s National Meteorological Center has activated a yellow alert for rainstorms across multiple regions, warning residents to brace for intense downpours and potential flooding starting Friday. ⚠️
Heavy rainfall is expected to drench parts of Henan, Hunan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, and Jilin until Saturday morning. Some areas in Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, and Jilin could see up to 180 mm of rain—enough to submerge a skateboard in minutes! 🌊
Short but fierce bursts of rain—80 mm per hour—paired with thunderstorms and strong winds may cause disruptions. Authorities are urging cities to check drainage systems and protect farmlands and fishponds. 🚜🐟
🔍 Did you know? China’s weather warnings use a color-coded system: red (most severe), orange, yellow, and blue. This yellow alert means it’s time to stay prepped, not panicked!
In Changsha, Hunan, recent heavy rains already caused the Xiangjiang River to swell this week (📸: CFP). Stay dry and safe out there, folks! ☔️
