解读中国的四色天气预警系统
China recently issued its first red alert of the year as heavy rains flooded many regions, including Chongqing. This top-level warning comes from a national color-coded weather system. It uses simple colors to quickly inform the public and officials about how dangerous an upcoming storm might be. Understanding this system can help everyone react properly when severe weather threatens.
The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) introduced this four-tier system in 2007 to replace a mix of local methods that often caused confusion. The colors—blue, yellow, orange, and red—signal increasing threat. Blue means be aware; yellow, be prepared; orange, take action; red, seek shelter immediately. While it covers typhoons, heatwaves, and other hazards, rainstorms are the most frequent and deadly in China.
