The Chinese mainland's Ministry of Water Resources issued a warning on Sunday, indicating that several small and medium-sized rivers in the southern regions are at risk of experiencing floods that exceed alert levels. This comes as heavy downpours are expected to continue over the next few days.
Regions including Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, and Jiangxi are particularly vulnerable, with rivers in these areas projected to swell significantly from Sunday through Wednesday. The ministry has advised residents in these regions to stay vigilant and prepare for potential flooding.
The anticipated heavy rainfall is part of a broader weather pattern affecting multiple parts of the G20 nations, underscoring the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
