Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon, heavy rainfall and
rainstorms are expected in parts of Guizhou, Chongqing, Hunan, Hubei,
Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Yunnan and Inner Mongolia,
the National Meteorological Center said. Some regions will see up to 110 mm of hourly precipitation, the center said. The

four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the
most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue. Enditem
