What's the gale warning level? What color?

Four levels: blue, yellow, orange and red.

The gale warning signal is an early warning signal made by the meteorological department before the gale comes through meteorological monitoring. The gale warning signal is divided into four levels, which are represented by blue, yellow, orange and red respectively. Issuing gale warning signal is helpful to improve early warning ability and reduce people's property losses and casualties. The competent meteorological departments in the State Council are responsible for the management of the release, cancellation and dissemination of national early warning signals, and the local competent meteorological departments at all levels are responsible for the management of the release, cancellation and dissemination of early warning signals within their respective administrative areas.

Other relevant departments shall, in accordance with their duties, cooperate with the competent meteorological departments to do a good job in the release and dissemination of early warning signals, close doors and windows, reinforce structures that are easily blown by the wind, such as coamings, scaffolding and billboards, properly arrange outdoor articles that are easily affected by strong winds, cover building materials, and take positive measures such as returning to Hong Kong to avoid the wind or bypassing ships in relevant waters.

Matters needing attention

1. Try to avoid the narrow tube effect when walking and cycling.

Pay attention to the long and narrow passages between tall buildings when walking or cycling. Because the narrow passage will form a narrow tube effect, the wind in the passage will increase, which will bring certain danger to pedestrians.

Be careful not to stay in billboards and old trees for a long time.

Some billboards may collapse under the action of strong wind because they are not installed firmly, while some old trees have died and their foundations are not firm, and they may break in windy weather, posing danger to pedestrians.

3. Pay attention to the safety of light vehicles.

Because of its light weight, light vehicles may be lifted by strong winds when driving at high speed. Light vehicles should put some heavy objects, or drive slowly, and must keep a safe speed and distance. When the wind is too strong to ensure safe driving, you should turn to the service area or leave the expressway in time. When a large vehicle full of goods is driving at high speed in windy weather, the goods on the vehicle may swing, loosen or even fall off from the vehicle under the action of wind.
