Parts of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces, as well as Chongqing and Shanghai municipalities will experience rainstorms from Sunday morning to Monday morning, according to the National Meteorological Center (NMC).

It also warned of torrential floods, landslides or mudslides in the northeast part of the Sichuan Basin region as well as Jiangsu and Anhui.
