Which level is higher, the orange warning or the red warning?

In China's meteorological early warning, red warning is the highest level of early warning, which is higher than orange warning. Red warning usually indicates that extreme weather has occurred or is about to occur, with a wide warning range and serious impact, which may cause heavy casualties and property losses. In meteorological early warning, it is usually divided into 1 grade, grade 2, grade 3 and grade 4, which are represented by red, orange, yellow and blue respectively. The first level is the highest level.

The orange warning is the second-highest warning, which usually indicates that the weather has had or will have a great impact, and the warning range is wide, which may lead to heavy casualties and property losses. In meteorological early warning, there are yellow early warning and blue early warning, which represent general weather change and slight weather change respectively. Early warning at all levels aims to remind the public to pay attention to weather changes and take necessary preventive measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
