Floods, landslides and hail in the south-western Chinese province of Yunnan have killed 35 people, state media said on Monday. The storms have affected around 1.9 million people and caused losses of some 575 million yuan ($83.70 million) in the province, the official Xinhua news agency said, though it did not specify a timeframe.
In the eastern province of Anhui, torrential rain and floods over the weekend affected about 541,000 people, it added. Rain and floods, concentrated in China's heavily industrialised south, have killed at least 176 people already this year, as authorities struggle to shelter millions made homeless by the 7.9 magnitude quake that struck the south-western province of Sichuan on May 12.
Typhoon Fengshen, which weakened to a tropical storm over the South China Sea, pounded the Philippines at the weekend with gusts of upto 195 kph (120 mph), and is expected to bring more rain to southern and eastern China. At least 155 people were killed, largely by drowning, in a torrent of floods in the south and centre of the archipelago, and nearly 800 are missing from a capsized ferry.
