Quick responses made on flood control, hot weather
The Ministry of Water Resources has also increased flood control efforts in Guangxi and Guangdong by boosting surveillance on river conditions and optimizing the use of water diversion projects to help limit flooding.
According to the latest forecasts by the meteorological administration on Sunday, rain will continue in the nation's southern parts and provinces along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through Tuesday, while hot weather will continue in northern areas.
The administration forecast that the weather will begin a transition from Wednesday, when the southern provinces will see higher temperatures and the Huanghuai area－mainly in central Henan province and eastern Jiangsu and Anhui provinces－will experience rainy weather.
The administration warned that the public should remain alert on the possible risk of flooding, clogged waterways and landslides.
