Areas along the flooding Huaihe River will continue to be pelted by
strong rainfall on Friday and Saturday, according to the Central
Meteorological Station.
Its rainstorm forecast at 10 a.m. Friday noted that southern
Shandong Province, the central and northern parts of Anhui and
Jiangsu provinces, all in east China, the central and southern
parts of central Henan Province and most of the areas in central
Hubei province, where the Huaihe River passes through, will
experience torrential rains, thundershowers or even hails for the
two days.
These areas need to guard against and work in preparation for
control of floods and related geological disasters, such as
mud-rock flow and landslides, noted the meteorological station.
Meanwhile, the station also forecast heavy rains or thunderstorms
for most of Chongqing Municipality and northern Guizhou Province,
where the Yangtze runs through.
