BEIJING, Dec. 2, 2018 (BSS/Xinhua) – China’s national observatory on
Sunday renewed a yellow alert for thick fog in some northern and eastern
regions.

On Sunday morning, thick fog will affect Beijing, as well as provinces of
Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, reducing visibility in
some areas to less than 200 meters, the National Meteorological Center said.

The center said drivers in affected regions should slow down, while
airports, freeways and ports should take appropriate safety measures.

China has a four-tier color-coded warning system for severe weather, with
red being the most serious, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
