南方暴雨持续 双预警齐发
China's meteorological authority has issued an orange rainstorm warning together with a yellow alert for severe convective weather. This is the first time this year that two such warnings have been active at the same time. The orange alert, the second-highest level, signals that heavy rain will continue to fall across many provinces. The yellow warning indicates the possibility of thunderstorms, strong winds, and even hail.
The warnings follow days of heavy rainfall that have already caused flooding and landslides in parts of southern China. Since May, five rounds of heavy rain have hit the country, according to the meteorological authority. Earlier this week, a red alert—the highest level—was issued for the first time this year as torrential rains battered regions like Chongqing and Guangdong. The new orange and yellow alerts suggest the danger is not over, although the most extreme conditions may have eased slightly.
