- Southern China is experiencing widespread heavy rain, with rainfall totals expected to exceed 100 mm across Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hunan provinces, and up to 150‑200 mm in some areas.
- The Office of the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and the Ministry of Emergency Management are holding meetings with meteorological and hydrological departments to stress reinforced patrols and emergency responses.
- Reservoirs with known safety concerns must remain empty during the intense rainfall period and the coming rainy season.
- Bangladesh, northern Myanmar, and far‑east India are forecast to receive up to 250 mm of rain this week, with some localities possibly exceeding 400 mm.
- Central and northern India are experiencing extreme heat, with maximum temperatures of 45 °C reported in Surat, Haryana, Delhi, and Odisha.
- Central Canada is experiencing unseasonably cold weather.
Why it matters: Local authorities are emptying vulnerable reservoirs to curb flooding as rains exceed 100 mm, while India's 45 °C heatwave threatens residents’ health and labor productivity, and the forecasted 250 mm rain in Bangladesh, Myanmar and India raises flood risk for low‑lying communities across the region.
