Better keep your umbrella handy

Heavy rain will continue to hit much of China in the next two days, the National Meteorological Center said on Sunday.

Torrential rain will sweep across parts of South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and Guizhou province, the central provinces of Hunan and Hubei, and the eastern provinces of Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu, according to the meteorological authority.

The center renewed a blue alert, the lowest level in the four-tier system, for rainstorms in those regions on Sunday, with forecast precipitation ranging from 100 to 160 millimeters between Sunday and Monday.
