中国暴雨红色预警：四级警告系统解析
China recently issued its first red alert of the year for torrential rains, after five rounds of heavy rainfall since May caused flooding and landslides across many regions. But what does a "red alert" really mean? In China's weather warning system, it is the highest level of caution, signaling extreme danger. Understanding this system helps people grasp why this alert is so serious.
China's National Meteorological Center uses a four-tier color-coded warning system, introduced in the early 2000s. The colors are blue, yellow, orange, and red. Blue means general risk, while yellow warns of possible disruptions. Orange indicates a severe threat, and red is for the most extreme weather. Each level triggers specific preparedness measures by local governments, such as school closures or travel restrictions.
