Guangdong is preparing for more severe downpours this week after days of torrential rain triggered flooding and increased the risk of landslides.
From August 3 into the early hours of August 4, parts of eastern Guangdong and Huizhou city experienced heavy to extreme rainfall, with Longmen county's Yonghan town recording over 300 millimeters in 24 hours, the highest in the province.
Forecasters warn that between August 4 and 5, coastal counties in southern Guangdong could see another 100-200 millimeters of rainfall, with local totals potentially exceeding 500 millimeters. The Pearl River Delta and northern parts of the province are also expected to experience heavy to severe rain, accompanied by strong thunderstorms and winds reaching force 8. Rainfall is likely to ease gradually from August 7.
Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant to the dangers of flash floods, urban waterlogging, and secondary disasters such as mudslides and landslides, particularly in mountainous and rural areas. The public has also been advised to take precautions against lightning and sudden strong winds that could disrupt outdoor activities and travel.
