South China is set to experience another round of heavy rainfall from May 3 to 5, as forecasted by China's National Meteorological Center.
The intense downpours will primarily impact eastern Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, western Fujian provinces, and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Certain areas could be subjected to torrential rain, exacerbating the already high levels of precipitation this year.
Regions like Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian have reported above-average rainfall so far in 2023. The cumulative precipitation heightens the risk of secondary disasters, including landslides and debris flows, posing significant challenges to residents.
With the May Day holiday aligning with this weather event, the public is advised to plan their return journeys carefully. Potential disruptions due to the heavy rain and strong convective weather could impact travel and daily activities.
Adding to the weather complexities, an unusual temperature pattern will continue over the next three days. While Northeast China endures continued warming with cities like Harbin and Changchun expected to reach highs of 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, the southern regions will face cooler conditions.
Moreover, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China will see a significant temperature rise, with some areas reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius, contrasting the cooler weather in the south.
