China's meteorological authorities on Wednesday renewed a blue alert for rainstorms in parts of the country.
From 8 a.m. Wednesday to 8 a.m. Thursday, heavy rain or rainstorms are forecast to hit parts of Liaoning, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chongqing and Hubei. Heavy downpours up to 140 mm may lash parts of Chongqing, according to the National Meteorological Center.
Some of these regions will experience heavy rainfall marked by 30 to over 60 mm of hourly precipitation, as well as severe convective weather such as thunderstorms and gales, the meteorological center said, urging local authorities to take appropriate precautions.
Schools and kindergartens have been asked to ensure the safety of students and children, and drivers have been advised to exercise caution due to potential road waterlogging and traffic congestion.
China has a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe warning, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
