CHINA'S meteorological authority on Saturday issued a blue alert, the lowest level in its four-tier warning system, for heavy rain in southern China in the next 24 hours.
From 8am Saturday to Sunday, heavy rain and storms are expected in many southern provinces, including Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and Yunnan provinces, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) announced.
Some parts of the above-mentioned provinces are going to see torrential rain of 100 to 130 millimeters within 24 hours.
The NMC cautioned that local governments should take emergency measures against storms, cut off outdoor power supply in dangerous regions and prevent potential disasters, including mountain floods and landslides.
