Heads up, adventure seekers! 🌧️
Beijing is dancing in the rain, but not in the fun way. Several northern and western districts are on orange alert for heavy downpours—the second-highest level in the city's four-tier warning system. That’s like going from a drizzle to a monsoon overnight!
Starting from midnight on Monday, the city has been getting soaked. By 10 a.m. on Tuesday, the average rainfall hit 42.9 millimeters. For those who love numbers, that’s a whole lot of water! 💦 Changping District took the crown for the heaviest splash.
Districts like Shijingshan, Haidian, Mentougou, Changping, and Huairou aren't taking any chances—they've all raised the orange flag. Some train services have been put on pause to keep everyone safe. 🚂⛔
If you're in Beijing or know someone who is, it's time to grab that umbrella and stay updated. Safety first, amigos! ☔
