BEIJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- A yellow warning for waves brought by a blast of strong cold air was issued Sunday by the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center.
The cold air is expected to bring strong gust to Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, waters surrounding the Diaoyu Islands and the Taiwan Strait, inducing huge waves along the country's coastal areas.
From Sunday to Monday noon, waves as high as three to five meters are expected in the Taiwan Strait, while the northern coastal areas of east China's Shandong Province will see waves 2.5 to 3.8 meters high.
Meanwhile, waves of between two and three meters high are expected in the waters off the coast of northeast China's Liaoning, north China's Hebei and Tianjin, and east China's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, according to the center.
The center warned ships in affected areas and urged local authorities to take precautions.
China has a four-tier color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
