Southern China to experience continued rainstorms

Thunderstorms and hail are expected to continue hitting parts of southern China until this weekend, following torrential rains last week that pounded the region, claiming dozens of lives and bringing chaos to air and road travel.

Thunderstorms are expected to hit parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan on Tuesday, bringing hail and strong winds, according to a weather forecast released by the National Meteorological Administration on Monday.

These areas may see up to 200 millimeters of precipitation this week, the forecast showed.
