Heavy downpours that have been battering southern parts of China over the past few days, causing floods and landslides, are forecast to last until June 22, the National Meteorological Center said.
The center warned that heavy rain had saturated the soil in the provinces of Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong, along with the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. People in those areas should prepare for floods, landslides and other disasters, it said.
After Saturday, the rain will move north and affect the Yangtze River region. Starting on June 22, the rain will subside in southern China, the center said.
