China’s National Meteorological Center has renewed a yellow alert for rainstorms this weekend, with torrential rains set to drench southern regions.

Here’s what you need to know:
Where Will the Storms Hit Hardest?
From Saturday afternoon, regions including Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi could see up to 180mm of rain – enough to flood streets 🚧 and trigger landslides. Southern provinces are already facing rainfall 20-50% above average this month, with April’s precipitation hitting a 60-year high 📈.
Flood Risks Escalate
The National Climate Center warns that the Pearl River and Yangtze River basins remain flood 'hotspots,' urging authorities to prepare for emergencies. Tourists in affected areas are advised to stay alert ⚠️ and monitor local updates.
Why This Matters
Extreme weather is becoming a recurring theme in China’s climate story. With rising global temperatures 🌡️, understanding these patterns is key for travelers, businesses, and communities adapting to a changing environment.
