Heavy rainfall to lash eastern China until tomorrow

Typhoon Doksuri is set to bring heavy rainfall to eastern China until Tuesday, the National Meteorological Center said.

The impact of the typhoon is expected to persist as it moves after making landfall in Jinjiang city, Fujian province, on Friday morning with intensity gradually weakening while moving northward.

As the typhoon moves inland, it is projected to result in extreme rainfall in Beijing, Tianjin and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces, posing a high risk of disasters.

In certain areas, the rainfall could reach up to 500 millimeters.

It is crucial for the public to pay close attention to weather updates and stay away from areas with a higher risk of meteorological hazards, the center warned.

Authorities have also advised residents to avoid unnecessary travel and outdoor activities during this period.
