China Renews “Red Alert” To Confront High Temperatures

China renewed the issuance of a red alert to face high temperatures, the most severe warning in the weather warning system, as severe heat waves continue to sweep many regions of the country. And the National Meteorological Center expected – according to the Chinese news agency “Xinhua” – that parts of Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, Chongqing, And Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong, during the day, temperatures range between 35 and 39 degrees Celsius, and exceed 40 in parts of Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hubei, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Chongqing and Xinjiang. The center advised local authorities to take emergency measures to counter the heat wave, suspend work in outdoor areas exposed to high temperatures, and pay close attention to fire safety, and pay special attention to vulnerable groups. China has a four-level colour-coded weather warning system, with red being the most intense, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

China Renews “Red Alert” , Meanwhile, China announced the development of a drone equipped with a new system that can be used in weather modification work, and can implement remote sensing monitoring of clouds, rain, wind and aerosols in the air below its flight path. And the Chinese news agency “Xinhua” stated that the plane, which has a large carrying capacity, long flight time, low maintenance cost and fast deployment, completed its first flight, which took 75 minutes from an airport in Shaanxi Province, northwest China, which proves the safety of the mechanism and the capabilities of its airborne facilities. According to the Institute of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, one of the plane’s developers, the new functions of the plane include dual laser and microwave detection, active and passive combined monitoring, and remote sensing on site. The success of the aircraft’s maiden flight represents a breakthrough in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles made in China, which are used in multi-functional monitoring via remote sensing to modify the weather, and also contribute to reducing natural disasters and protecting the environment.
