The Chinese mainland is bracing for potential floods as the Ministry of Water Resources issued warnings on Monday for several southern regions. The ministry cautioned that small and medium-sized rivers could swell beyond alert levels due to heavy downpours anticipated over the next few days.
Provinces including Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan are expected to experience significant rainfall from Tuesday to Saturday. The forecast indicates that parts of southwest China, south China, and areas south of the Yangtze River will be most affected.
Local authorities have been urged to enhance monitoring and preparedness measures to mitigate the impact of the potential floods. Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay informed about weather updates and follow safety guidelines issued by officials.
This development comes as seasonal rains increase across the region, posing challenges for communities and sectors such as agriculture and transportation. The ministry emphasized the importance of coordinated efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of people in the projected path of heavy rainfall.
