Today and tomorrow (June 4 to 5), thunderstorms will still be frequent in Northeast and North China, with local areas experiencing strong convective weather like thunderstorm winds or hail. If encountering such weather, the public should quickly take shelter indoors. Around June 6, a new round of rainfall is expected in the South, with local heavy rain. People should pay attention to nearby warnings and forecasts, and be careful with traffic safety when going out. Affected by rainfall, many areas in the North will feel cool, but muggy weather will persist in South China, with high temperatures continuing in some places for the next three days. Heatstroke prevention is needed.

Thunderstorms are still expected in Northeast and North China today and tomorrow.

The core rainfall area in the South will shift slightly southward.

Yesterday, rainfall continued in the Northeast, with stronger downpours in the southern part. Meanwhile, the South entered the core period of rainfall, with heavy rain hitting many areas such as Guizhou, Jiangxi, and Hunan. Monitoring shows that from yesterday to this morning, some parts of eastern Yunnan, southern Guizhou, northwestern Guangxi, central Hunan, northern Jiangxi, southern Anhui, southern Hebei, and northern Shandong experienced heavy rain or torrential rain.

Today and tomorrow, influenced by a high-altitude cold vortex, thunderstorms will be frequent in Northeast, North China, and the Huanghuai region, with local areas seeing thunderstorm winds or hail. At the same time, as cold air moves southward, the core rainfall area in the South will shift slightly southward, and rainfall will gradually weaken.

The Central Meteorological Observatory forecasts that today, areas including eastern Northeast China, northeastern and southern Jiangnan, southern western Sichuan Plateau, southwestern Yunnan, northern and western South China, and Taiwan Island will see moderate to heavy rain. Among these, parts of eastern Heilongjiang, eastern Jilin, southern Hunan, southwestern and northeastern Guangxi, southern Yunnan, southeastern Tibet, and southern Taiwan Island may experience heavy rain or torrential rain.

Rainfall in the South will remain frequent in the coming period. Starting June 6, warm and moist air currents will strengthen again, followed by cold air moving southward to form a shear line, leading to another round of rainfall in the South. From June 6 to 9, areas including southwestern East China, Jiangnan, and South China will experience heavy to torrential rain, with local extreme downpours. Some areas may see overlapping rainfall, so caution is needed against the potential disaster risks of cumulative rainfall.

Many areas in the North feel cool.

Muggy weather persists from southern Jiangnan to South China.

The cold air will not only bring rainfall to Northeast and North China but also cause significant cooling. Over the next week, maximum temperatures in the Northeast will be consistently lower than the average for this time of year, mostly around 20 to 25°C, feeling cool. In big cities like Harbin, the high today will drop to 21°C, and the low will be just over 10°C, showing a clear chill. The public should pay attention to temperature changes and adjust clothing accordingly.

In many parts of the South, muggy weather will persist for the next three days, with high temperatures frequently appearing from southern Jiangnan to South China. Cities like Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Haikou may hit the high temperature threshold today, and with high humidity, the weather will be sultry. When going out, people should stay hydrated to prevent heatstroke.
