解读中国暴雨预警：红色警报意味着什么？
In early June, torrential rains swept across southern China, prompting the national meteorological authority to issue its first red alert of the year. For many, the term 'red alert' is familiar from TV broadcasts, but what does it really mean? The red alert is the most serious level in China's color-coded weather warning system, a tool designed to give clear and quick information during dangerous storms.
The system has four levels, each marked by a color: blue, yellow, orange, and red. Blue is the lowest, signaling that rain may cause minor problems. Yellow means rain could disrupt travel and outdoor work. Orange warns of more severe weather—road flooding is likely, and some areas may need to prepare for evacuations. Red, the highest, points to extremely heavy rainfall that can trigger flash floods and landslides.
