Starting from the night of tomorrow (April 26), most of southern China will once again usher in a new round of rainfall, and on May 1, another wave of precipitation will arrive and continue through the “May Day” holiday. Areas including the eastern part of the southwest, the Jianghan region, Jiangnan, and South China will experience heavy rain to torrential rain and severe convective weather. As the “May Day” holiday approaches, travel plans should be arranged in advance.
Today, rainfall has generally stopped across southern China, with most areas entering a break period and enjoying fine weather. However, starting tomorrow night, a new round of widespread rainfall will arrive, and a second round of precipitation will begin on May 1, continuing through the “May Day” holiday.
Specifically, starting from the night of April 26, the southwest region will be the first to experience a new round of rainfall, which will then spread eastward until April 29. Areas including the eastern part of the southwest, the Jianghan region, Jiangnan, and South China will successively experience heavy rain to torrential rain, with localized short-duration heavy rainfall, thunderstorm gales, and other severe convective weather.
Following this, under the influence of cold air, most of central and eastern China will usher in a new round of rainfall, and the north will also experience strong winds, cooling, and sandstorms. It is expected that from May 1 to May 3, most of central and eastern China will have light rain or showers, with parts of the Jianghuai region, Jiangnan, and South China experiencing moderate to heavy rain, localized torrential rain, and severe convective weather. At the same time, temperatures in the northwest, North China, and the Huanghuai region will drop by 4°C to 8°C, with some areas seeing a drop of up to 10°C. Some areas will also experience 4 to 6 level northerly winds, and parts of the northwest and northern North China will see sandstorm weather.
On May 3, many areas in the south will experience heavy rain to torrential rain
After that, the rainy pattern in the south will persist. It is expected that from May 5 to May 8, the cumulative precipitation in central and southern Jiangnan, South China, as well as Chongqing and Guizhou, will be 20 to 40 millimeters, with some areas exceeding 60 millimeters.
Overall, over the next 10 days, the main rainfall will be in Jiangnan, South China, as well as Chongqing, eastern Guizhou, and eastern Yunnan. The cumulative precipitation in most of these areas will be 30% to 70% higher than the usual level for this period, with some areas more than double the average. Among cities, Chengdu will have rain on 5 out of 6 days starting tomorrow; Guangzhou will have frequent rainfall starting the day after tomorrow, with heavier rain on the 28th.

Everyone is reminded that starting tomorrow night, rainfall in the south will increase again, and the frequent rainy conditions in many areas will continue until early May. As this coincides with the peak travel period for the “May Day” holiday, the public should check weather forecasts in a timely manner, arrange travel plans in advance, try to avoid going out during periods of obvious rainfall, and pay attention to traffic safety.
