厄尔尼诺现象造成中国极端天气

Rain is expected to fall in most parts of  China. In Northern China, most cities will see small rainfall, in northeast China, medium rainfall is expected in some cities.

While in southern China's Yunnan province, heavy rain ranging from 50 to 100 millimetres is likely to fall today. That comes after unusual weather hit many provinces since this May.

Last Friday, 218 millimetres of rain fell in 12 hours in a county of southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The next day, a sudden snow storm sent part of Xinjiang Ugyur autonomous region back to winter.

While in western China's Gansu province, drought affected over 2,500 hectors of crops, the worst since 1958. Weather authorities explained why.
