中国发布今年首个红色预警，多地暴雨成灾
China’s meteorological authority issued its first red alert of the year on Tuesday, the highest warning in a four-tier system, as torrential rains worsened across the southern and central regions. The alert was raised after a weekend of intense downpours that caused flash floods and landslides, prompting authorities to warn that the extreme weather is far from over.
The hardest-hit areas include Chongqing, Guizhou, and Hunan, where some places received over 200 mm of rainfall in 24 hours. The deluge has inundated villages, blocked highways with mudslides, and forced the cancellation of multiple train services. In Chongqing, a Level IV emergency response has been in effect since the seasonal rains began in May, but officials now say the situation is deteriorating rapidly, with evacuations expanding to new areas as rivers overtop their banks.
