On Wednesday (Dec 10), the National Meteorological Center (NMC) issued blue alerts for a cold wave and strong winds, forecasting a sharp temperature drop and the season’s first large-scale snowfall across the northern Chinese mainland. ❄️🌬️
Meanwhile, the China Meteorological Administration activated a Level IV emergency response, the mildest in its four-tier system, to tackle cold waves, strong winds, and possible blizzards. Think of it as a heads-up for Mother Nature’s wintry mood swings! 🥶
Here’s the lowdown on China’s warning systems:
- Emergency levels: I (most urgent) to IV (least urgent).
- Weather warnings: red (severe), orange, yellow, blue (lightest).
