The on-site weather service teams also provide decision-making weather service information to agencies at the main operation center of the organizing committee.

They also assigned special persons for a meteorological support shift on duty for 24 hours to issue traffic-related weather reports, weather warnings and forecasts.

The weather service group in Yanqing will also pay special attention to forest fire control and traffic.

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games will be held in downtown Beijing, its Yanqing district and co-host city Zhangjiakou in Hebei province, from Feb 4 to 20.
