Widow The strong winds in Beijing and in Northern China areas caused the strong winds on Saturday, forcing hundreds of flights to cancel, sightseeing to close and stop the railways, according to state media.

The strong winds came mainly from a cold vortex system that was formed above Mongolia moving east and south, scanning northern China from Friday to the weekend, China’s meteorological service (CMA) said.

Temperatures in the capital declined 12 degrees Celsius on Saturday and meteorologists warned that wind speeds could compete or exceed April record dates from 1951.

Xinhua’s state -run news agency reported that puffs were foreseen up to 150 km/h (93 miles/hour).

Beijing issued his first orange alarm – the second highest level – for a decade for a decade earlier for this weekend.

From Saturday morning, 413 flights to Beijing International Capital Airport had been canceled, the CCTV state television network reported.

The rail services including the airport’s rapid traffic line and some high -speed rail routes had also been suspended, CCTV added.

Tourist attractions, such as the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Beijing Zoo and the Universal Studios theme park were also temporarily closed on Saturday.

Nearly 300 trees in the Chinese capital have fallen and 19 vehicles have been damaged, CCTV said, adding that no injuries have yet been reported due to strong winds in Beijing.

China is the largest greenhouse gas emission in the world that scientists say they cause climate change and make extreme weather more frequent and more intense.

Dozens of people were killed and thousands were removed during storms that caused serious floods across the country last year.

In May, a highway in southern China collapsed after days of rain, killing 48 people.
