According to the weather forecast, rainfall here could reach 300 mm, and even more violently in some areas! This kind of rain is equivalent to submerging the whole city in water, so be careful when you go out!
Next is Zhejiang Province, and residents of Wenzhou, Lishui and Taizhou should also be vigilant. Rainfall is expected here to be between 80 and 150 mm, with some areas facing more than 200 mm of rainfall. The weather can be unpredictable, so don't forget to check the weather and bring rain gear just in case.
Friends in Jiangxi Province should not take it lightly, Ganzhou City and Ji'an City will experience heavy rainfall of 100 to 150 mm, and there is also a possibility of more than 200 mm of heavy rain in some areas. At this time, if you want to go out, it is best to think about whether you can reach your destination safely, after all, heavy rain will have a great impact on traffic.
The situation in Guangdong province is also worrying, with rainfall expected to be between 50 and 100 mm in Heyuan, Meizhou and Jieyang, which is slightly lighter than other provinces, as mountainous and low-lying areas are still prone to waterlogging.

If a rainstorm comes, you can take back your belongings in advance to avoid being taken away by the wind and rain. At the same time, stock up on some necessities, such as drinking water, food, and medicine, to avoid unexpected situations during heavy rains.
