What do the icons in the weather forecast (blue, yellow, orange and red) mean for strong winds?

The so-called orange warning, blue warning and red warning are the pre-signals of weather forecast. Generally, the forecast of severe weather such as typhoon, rainstorm, high temperature, cold wave, low temperature and cold, thunderstorm and gale is divided into four levels (IV, III, II and I). According to the severity and urgency of the disaster, the colors are blue, yellow, orange and red in turn, and they are marked in Chinese and English, representing general and strong wind respectively.
