By Sunday, Talim had dumped more than 400 millimetres of rain in the counties of Yuexi, Huoshan and Jinzai in Anhui Province, with over 200 millimetres of rain falling in many other areas.

In Jiangxi, rainstorms, flooding, landslides, mud-and-rock flows and a river embankment breach claimed seven lives and left four others missing.

In the province more than 7,100 houses were destroyed, 210,000 hectares of crops damaged and 3.1 million people in 24 cities and counties affected, causing more than 1.7 billion yuan (US$220 million ) in direct economic losses.
