Heavy rainstorms will ease in south China, but heat waves will continue to scorch the central part of the country, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said on Monday.
The NMC lifted a blue alert for heavy rains on Monday morning, saying that rains are likely to ease in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province.
It added that heavy rains will hit parts of Yunnan, Guangdong and Anhui provinces. Torrential rain bringing precipitation of 100 to 110 mm will hit eastern Guangxi from Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon.
The NMC also said that a heat wave will continue to scorch areas along the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, regions to the south of the Yangtze River, the Sichuan Basin as well as Chongqing Municipality over the next three days.
Temperatures in most of the affected regions will exceed 35 degrees Celsius. The highest temperatures will reach between 37 and 39 degrees Celsius, according to the NMC.
China has a four-tier, color-coded warning system for severe weather, with red being the most serious, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
