The two departments also issued a red alert for mountain torrents in the western part of Zhejiang and the northeastern part of Jiangxi.
Mountain torrents could also be triggered by temporary heavy downpours in other areas, the alerts said.
Localities have been advised to strengthen real-time monitoring and flood warnings, prepare for possible evacuations, and take other measures to mitigate risks.
China has a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe warning, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
