Chinese authorities sounded the alarm Saturday as extreme weather conditions triggered red alerts – the highest emergency level – for mountain floods and rainstorms across eastern and southern provinces. The warnings come as millions brace for potential disruptions during peak summer travel season 🧳.
The Ministry of Water Resources and China Meteorological Administration flagged Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi as high-risk zones through Sunday evening. Northwestern Zhejiang Province received an orange alert, the second-highest warning tier.
🚨 Emergency crews are on standby as forecasters predict intense rainfall exceeding 100mm in some areas. “This pattern mirrors 2023’s historic flooding events,” noted weather analyst Li Ming via Weibo. “Climate volatility is rewriting regional weather playbooks.”
Travelers and locals are advised to monitor updates through official channels and avoid mountainous areas. The alerts coincide with China’s peak summer tourism period, potentially affecting popular destinations like Guilin’s karst landscapes 🏞️.
