China has renewed a blue alert for rainstorms, as downpours show little sign of weakening in many areas of south China.

The National Meteorological Center says heavy rain will continue in the provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region through Monday. It warns of possible thunderstorms, strong wind or even hail.  

The public is advised to be prepared for possible mountain torrents, mud-rock flows and landslides, which have already happened in some places.
