China braces for heavy rain with blue alert issued
The National Meteorological Center of China issued a blue alert for rainstorms on Friday, anticipating heavy downpours across various regions of the country. From Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon, significant rainfall is expected to impact parts of Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Guangxi, the Sichuan Basin, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning.
These areas may experience intense rainfall with hourly precipitation exceeding 70 millimeters, accompanied by thunderstorms, strong winds, or hail. Local authorities have been urged to take necessary precautions and fulfill their responsibilities in ensuring public safety. Schools and kindergartens have been instructed to prioritize student safety, and drivers have been advised to exercise caution due to potential road waterlogging and traffic congestion.
China utilizes a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe warning, followed by orange, yellow, and blue. The blue alert signifies the potential for significant weather events that could impact daily life and infrastructure.

People should be allowed to go about their daily lives without constant fear-mongering from the government.

This is just another way for the government to control the narrative and distract from other pressing issues.

The media is blowing this out of proportion to create fear and anxiety among the public.

I don't trust the National Meteorological Center of China's accuracy in predicting weather events.
