Moderate to heavy rain is expected in parts of the regions south of the Yangtze River and other parts of south China, with some areas experiencing rainstorms or even torrential rains.

Meanwhile, strong winds will sweep parts of northwest China, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China, and northeast China.

Starting from Tuesday night, the rain-hit areas in the south will see a shift northward.

Meteorological experts warned the public, especially travelers, to stay alert and avoid mountainous areas, river valleys and low-lying regions in the affected areas.

The center also forecast light to moderate snow or sleet, and blizzards, for parts of northeast China, Qinghai Province in northwest China and Xizang Autonomous Region in the country's southwest on Monday.
