❄️🌬️ Hey, snow squad! Today, December 10, 2025, the National Meteorological Center issued blue alerts as a cold wave sweeps through northern regions of the Chinese mainland.
Temperatures are set to plunge by up to 12°C, bringing the first large-scale snowfall of the winter season. If you’ve been craving snowball fights or frosty selfies, get ready—but don’t forget your warmest layers!
On top of that, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has activated a Level IV emergency response for cold waves, strong winds and blizzards. Here’s the lowdown:
- Emergency levels: Level I (most urgent) down to Level IV (current situation).
- Weather warnings are color-coded: red → orange → yellow → blue (blue is the lightest alert).
Whether you’re racing to class, commuting to work or cozying up at home, stay safe and toasty. Pro tip: sip a hot chocolate and snap those snowflake pics for your socials! 📸☕️
