Heads up! China’s National Meteorological Center has issued a yellow alert for heavy fog tonight (Dec 17) into tomorrow morning (Dec 18) across parts of Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, the Sichuan Basin and Chongqing 🌫️.
Visibility could drop below 200 meters in Hebei, Henan, the Sichuan Basin and Chongqing. To put it in perspective, that’s like slowly driving past two football fields—so drivers need to stay extra cautious 🚗.
Drivers: slow down, use fog lights and keep a safe distance. Airports, highways and ports are also ramping up safety checks, so expect possible flight delays or train rescheduling ✈️.
In China’s three-tier fog warning system, red is the most severe, followed by orange and yellow. A yellow alert means “be prepared”—check your weather apps and add buffer time to your travel plans ⏰.
Whether you’re commuting in Beijing or heading to Chengdu, keep an eye on the forecast and stay safe on the road 🌏✌️.
