The Chinese mainland's meteorological authority has renewed a yellow alert for severe convection weather this Thursday, signaling the potential for thunderstorms, gales, hail, and heavy rainfall across multiple regions.
From Thursday morning to Friday morning, areas including Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Guangxi will experience intense weather conditions. The National Meteorological Center forecasts hourly precipitation rates ranging from 50 millimeters to over 80 millimeters in Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Liaoning, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guizhou, and Guangxi.
Residents are advised to exercise caution on the roads due to low visibility, and maritime vessels should maintain a safe navigation distance to avoid hazardous conditions. Despite the severe weather warning, the anticipated rainfall offers a silver lining by alleviating drought conditions currently affecting regions like Shandong and Shaanxi.
China utilizes a three-tier color-coded weather warning system for severe convection weather and sandstorms, with orange representing the highest level of alert, followed by yellow and blue. This renewed yellow alert serves as a crucial reminder for preparedness and safety in the face of advancing storms.
