Weather models anticipate amount of rainfall as well as windstorms in Guangdong prefecture, the Guangxi area, and the regions of Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, and Shandong from Monday through Wednesday.

Flash flood have traditionally caused collapses and swamped vast hectares of agricultural land in China, however increased rains and inundation are poised to put the country's disaster management network to the stand in the near future, US News reported.

According to Liu Weiping, Vice Minister of Water Resources, China's monsoon period began nearly a month sooner this year, with overall precipitation 10% more than in prior years, according to Outlook Weekly, produced by the government Xinhua media service.

Downpours have overloaded waterways, with 425 waterways exceeding early disaster alert thresholds through late March, an increase of 80% across the same time prior to 1998, according to Liu.
