Get your umbrellas ready! ☔ The Chinese mainland is gearing up for heavy rainstorms as the National Meteorological Center renewed a yellow alert this Friday.
From Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon, downpours are set to drench parts of Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, along with the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Some areas might even see torrential rains with a whopping hourly precipitation of over 80 millimeters! 🌧️⚡
The meteorological center warns that these heavy showers could come with thunderstorms and gusty winds. So, if you're in these regions, it's a good idea to stay indoors, maybe catch up on your favorite series or dive into a new book. 📚🎬
Local governments are on high alert, prepping for the rainstorms. Traffic authorities are set to enforce controls on affected roads during the heavy rainfall, so plan your travels accordingly! 🚗✋
Safety first! Officials suggest disconnecting at-risk outdoor power supplies, halting outdoor activities in open areas, and relocating people from vulnerable zones to safer spots. Let's hope everyone stays safe and sound. 🙏
Fun fact: China uses a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red being the most severe, followed by orange, yellow, and blue. So, a yellow alert means significant weather is on the way, but it's not time to panic. Just be prepared! 🌈
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep those rain boots handy! 👢
