Chinese authorities have told people weighing less than 50 kilograms to stay indoors this weekend because they could be "blown away" by strong winds.

Winds of up to 150 kilometers per hour are expected to sweep through Beijing, Tianjin and parts of Hebei from Friday to Sunday, as a cold front is traveling southeast from Mongolia.

The Beijing Meteorological Service has issued an orange alert, the first in a decade and the second highest in China's four-level weather warning system.

Over 22 million people have been told to avoid non-essential travel, especially vulnerable people who were warned they could be swept away by strong winds.

The warning to the weakest people went viral on Chinese social media, with related hashtags on Weibo, a Chinese blogging website.

While strong Mongolian winds are common at this time of year, meteorologists warned that the coming vortex could bring stronger winds than anything seen in recent years.

"This strong wind is extreme, lasts for a long time, affects a wide area and is very catastrophic," the meteorological service said.

Wind gusts are expected to reach levels 11 to 13 on China's 17-level wind scale. Winds at level 11 could cause "serious damage," while level 12 brings "extreme destruction," according to the meteorological service's classification.

Authorities have made extensive preparations for the extreme weather. Workers have been told to return home early, schools have suspended classes and outdoor events have been canceled.
