The southern regions of China are gearing up for increased rainfall during the upcoming Labor Day holiday from May 1 to 5, according to the National Climate Center. Jia Xiaolong, deputy director of the center, announced on Tuesday that accumulated precipitation in southern China and the southwestern province of Guizhou is expected to range from 20 to 60 millimeters.
The forecast suggests that travelers planning to visit popular destinations in these areas should prepare for wet weather conditions. “We advise residents and tourists to take necessary precautions against the rainfall, including carrying umbrellas and planning for potential travel delays,” Jia said during the press conference.
The Labor Day holiday is a peak travel period in China, with many people taking advantage of the extended break to explore different parts of the country. The anticipated rainfall could impact transportation and outdoor activities, prompting local authorities to enhance weather monitoring and emergency response measures.
Meanwhile, other parts of China are expected to experience stable weather conditions, making it an opportune time for travel and outdoor events in those regions. The National Climate Center will continue to provide updates as the holiday approaches, ensuring that the public stays informed about weather developments.
Travel agencies and businesses in the affected areas are adjusting their plans accordingly. “We are informing our clients about the weather forecast and offering alternative indoor activities to ensure they still have an enjoyable holiday experience,” said a representative from a Guangzhou-based tour company.
Residents and visitors can stay updated on the latest weather information through official channels and local news outlets to plan their holiday activities accordingly.
