Beijing is gearing up for a heavy downpour as the municipal government has upgraded its rainstorm warning to yellow, the third highest level. The Beijing meteorological observatory forecasts intense rainfall from 5 p.m. Thursday until 8 a.m. Friday. In some districts, hourly precipitation might exceed 50 millimeters, raising the risks of mountain torrents, mudslides, landslides, and waterlogging.
The city's flood control office triggered a third-level emergency response at 11 a.m., urging everyone to take precautions and stay alert for any potential secondary disasters. Hydrological and meteorological authorities have been issuing warnings for specific areas, advising residents to avoid waterlogged sections and steer clear of mountainous regions. Stay safe, keep informed, and plan your movements accordingly! 😊
