BEIJING, May 11 (Xinhua) -- China's National Meteorological Center on Wednesday renewed an orange alert for rainstorms in various parts of the country.

From Wednesday evening to Thursday evening, downpours are expected to lash parts of Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan. Some areas will experience up to 280 millimeters of rainfall within 24 hours.

Some regions are likely to encounter hourly precipitation of over 100 millimeters, accompanied by thunderstorms and gales.

The center has advised local governments to make preparations for the rainstorms. Schools and kindergartens have been asked to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of children, and drivers have been warned to watch out for flooding and traffic jams.

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