While a heat wave will persist in the south, the northern regions of China will expect the heavy rains to linger. China's National Meteorological Center says rain will linger in northern China over the next two days while high temperatures persist in the south. According to state-run Chinese media, heavy rains pelted areas of northern China on Sunday—including Gansu Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region—helping to ease the scorching heat. Beijing was hit by a heavy downpour on Sunday night, dumping as much as 1.3 inches by Monday. The weather forecast predicts heavy rain for different areas in northeast China, northern China, the Sichuan Basin, and the Shandong Peninsula. This also includes some regions along the Yellow River and Huaihe River. While the north is pouring with rain, the south is experiencing a sizzling heat wave. The temperature is expected to peak at 95 degrees Fahrenheit along some parts of the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, and central Shaanxi Province. In some parts of Chongqing, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, the temperature is expected to top 102 degrees Fahrenheit.

State Highway 213, which links Sichuan with neighboring Gansu and Yunnan provinces, was severely damaged by two rain-triggered mudslides in Wenchuan County, west China's Sichuan Province on Sunday. According to the local authorities, all neighboring residents have been evacuated to safe places in time and the specific repair plan will be conducted as soon as possible. State Highway 213 has been referred to as a "lifeline" by rescue workers following the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. The recent continuous heavy downpours have caused mud-and-rock slides, which cut off the highway in a number of sections. Since the 5.12 Wenchuan strong earthquakes in 2008, the Minjiang River has been somehow clogged on both sides. The higher water level and loose massif easily triggered the dangerous situation on the State Highway 213 in flood season. Till now about 200 meters long roadbed has been destroyed. Rush repair workers had to put some tetrahedron concretes of more than three tons to block the mud flow. Only in this way, the remaining roadbed can be saved. "The tetrahedron concretes we put in the mud-rock flow in the beginning are still working now. However, in some strong currents, single concrete can't stay. Once they are put into water, they will be washed away," said Feng Xuegang, general manager of Sichuan Duwen Road Limited Liability Company. With the increasing flow of the Minjiang River, it was getting harder and harder for the 50 concrete pieces put in the flow to ...

The central provinces of Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi could receive as much as six inches of rain in the next two days, based on local weather reports. China's National Meteorological Center has warned local authorities and residents to prepare for torrential rains. The state news agency Xinhua has warned of flooding, even in drought-hit areas. The region is known locally as "the land of rice and fish" due to the number of rice farms and the thousands of fish and crab farms. But while farmers desperately need the rain to save their crops and stock, it may not be enough to make up for the 40-60 percent rain shortfall.
