China's meteorological authorities have aided Nepal's rescue and relief efforts by sharing data and providing weather forecasts and early warning solutions tailored for Nepal after a deadly mudslide hit their shared border region on August 26.

According to officials from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), the administration held video weather consultations with Nepal's meteorological department immediately after the disaster and has actively provided meteorological support for Nepal's rescue and relief operations.

China has also established a dedicated meteorological support team for Nepal and began providing daily monitoring and forecasting reports in English.

The CMA said it will provide seamless forecasting services, offering strong support for Nepal's rescue operations. The CMA has also been providing Nepal with a range of meteorological products through MAZU, China's homegrown AI-powered meteorological early warning system.

The administration urgently developed a cloud-based version of MAZU customized for Nepal, which integrates multi-source data from China's Fengyun meteorological satellites and ground-based observation networks and is equipped with a series of AI-powered forecasting models.

The customized version was already delivered to Nepal for trial use.
