China's national observatory on Sunday renewed a yellow alert for rainstorms as incessant downpours would continue to wreak havoc in vast stretches of the country.

From Sunday morning to Monday morning, heavy rains and rainstorms are expected in parts of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, among other regions, the National Meteorological Center said, warning that some areas of Jilin, Liaoning and Anhui provinces will experience downpours of up to 150 millimeters of daily rainfall.

Some regions will see over 70 mm of hourly precipitation, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, the center said.

The center advised local authorities to remain alert for possible flooding, landslides and mudslides and recommended halting outdoor operations in hazardous areas.

The center also renewed a yellow alert for high temperatures in the country's southern areas, as well as the Xinjiang Uygur and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions and Sichuan Province, on Sunday.
