The Yulin Meteorological Bureau reported that rainfall in the region reached 50 millimeters per hour in some areas by midday on June 25, with forecasts predicting continued intensification through the evening. “Residents in low-lying areas are advised to evacuate immediately,” the bureau stated in a public advisory. This follows a week of consecutive downpours that have already caused localized flooding in Guangxi’s urban centers, according to China Daily.

The bureau also issued warnings for hail and thunderstorms in southern Hunan and eastern Guangdong, citing “unstable atmospheric conditions” as the primary cause.

In addition to the rain, the North China Plain is facing a surge in high temperatures, with the Central Meteorological Bureau reporting daytime highs exceeding 35°C in Hebei and Shandong provinces. “This marked contrast between southern precipitation and northern heat is typical during the summer monsoon transition period,” said a bureau spokesperson.

The ongoing weather pattern aligns with broader climatic trends observed in southern China this season. A June 24 report by the China Meteorological Administration noted that the region has experienced 20% above-average rainfall since May 2026, contributing to heightened flood risks. “This is part of an extended wet phase linked to the Pacific Ocean’s warmer-than-usual sea surface temperatures,” the report stated.
