South China is set to experience another wave of heavy rainfall from May 3 to 5, according to the National Meteorological Center of China. The downpours are expected to affect eastern Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and western Fujian provinces, as well as the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Some areas may receive torrential rain.
These regions, including Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, have already witnessed above-average rainfall this year. The cumulative precipitation heightens the risk of secondary disasters such as landslides and debris flows. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
As the May Day holiday coincides with this weather event, the public is advised to plan return journeys carefully. Potential disruptions due to heavy rain and strong convective weather could impact travel.
Meanwhile, an unusual temperature pattern persists, with warmer conditions in the north and cooler weather in the south over the next three days. Northeast China will continue to warm, with many areas reaching record highs for the year so far. Cities like Harbin and Changchun are expected to see temperatures rise to 27 to 28 degrees Celsius.
The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China will also experience a significant temperature increase, with some areas reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius.
