Flood warning: Heavy rain threatens southern and eastern provinces

A combo photo shows a contrast of the same spot near the Fenghuan Islet on the Ganjiang River, a major branch of the Yangtze River, in Nanchang, capital of East China's Jiangxi province, on May 26, 2016, (L) and Jan 14, 2015, (R). China warned of serious flooding after many southern and eastern provinces experienced some of the worst storms in decades. The Yangtze, Huaihe and Xijiang rivers may see "quite large" floods this year due to unusually heavy rain, according to the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters in a statement.
