Shanghai Upgrades Rainstorm Warning to Orange Alert
On June 27, 2025, at 5:59 PM, the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory upgraded the rainstorm warning from yellow to orange. This upgrade indicates that the northern and central parts of the city are expected to receive cumulative rainfall exceeding 100 millimeters within the next six hours. Such heavy rainfall poses risks including urban flooding, agricultural damage, and traffic congestion. Areas like Jing'an, Putuo, Hongkou, Yangpu, the northeastern part of Pudong, Baoshan, and Jiading are specifically highlighted as likely to experience these conditions. In response to this serious weather development, the Shanghai Flood Control Headquarters decided to elevate the flood control response from Level III to Level II, reflecting increased preparedness and action measures. Previously, a yellow thunderstorm warning and a blue wind warning were also in effect, emphasizing the severe weather conditions across the region. The public has been warned to take special precautions against potential hazards from this intense rainfall. This warning is significant as it reflects the culmination of severe weather activities impacting the eastern and southern regions of China, especially amidst the ongoing influence of Typhoon Butterfly along the southern coast. The Chinese Meteorological Administration is reinforcing their emergency response services to better manage such adverse weather conditions and mitigate disaster risks.
