Signal type and regional characteristics

Early warning management schemes are basically the same throughout the country; However, different provinces (cities, autonomous regions) have different standards for the same or different types of early warning: when a meteorological element constitutes a meteorological disaster in one place, it may not be a meteorological disaster in another place, which may be caused by different types and times of early warning regulations. The warning standards of cold wave, frost and low temperature vary greatly from place to place.

The following warning signals are common warning signals and standards in China. When the early warning comes into effect, please take the specific measures issued by the Meteorological Observatory as the standard, and take corresponding countermeasures according to the instructions of TV and radio.

In addition to early warning signals, there are other different early warning signals in various places, such as cold wave warning (Guangdong, etc.). ), snow disaster warning (Qinghai, etc. ), early warning signals such as heavy snow warning and road ice and snow warning (Northeast China). Meteorological stations in coastal areas will also issue marine meteorological warnings specifically for marine areas. Please refer to the website of the meteorological department of the province (municipality directly under the central government, autonomous region) for specific meanings, countermeasures and specific meanings.

In addition to meteorological warning signals, meteorological stations may also issue environmental, geological, forest, marine, health and other types of warning signals, because many areas of early warning release platforms are in meteorological stations.
