Weather warnings come at a time when Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Jocken urges officials in Hebe County to raise eviction efforts.

North and western China is still at maximum alert, as heavy rains threaten to bring more floods and landslides, after the weather -related deaths in other parts of the country.

The red alerts were valid on Thursday, when its way to Jansu County was created in the northwest, then even Leoning Province in the northeast.

Weather warnings came as more than 1,000 rescue workers were sent on Wednesday to Typening, a town in the Central Hanan Province, where five people died and it was announced that three missing after the River exploded, according to the government media.

Another government media report confirmed that two people were killed by a landslide on a construction site in Gansu after heavy rains on Wednesday and Thursday.

Meanwhile, standard summer rains struck the city of Xianfing in the Central Hobbai Province, China, which led to rain more than a month in only 12 hours, with local videos that show off torrents washing cars.

On Tuesday, the authorities have evacuated 18,000 people, closed schools and served bus services.

During a two -day trip to the Northern Hebei Province, Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Jojing urged local officials to increase the volume of evacuation.

Although China has a country level system for prediction and control of harsh weather, scientists say it is difficult to provide local predictions, especially in rural societies that lack prediction capabilities.

“The accurate prediction of the severity of heavy rains and its exact location is still a challenge, especially with the climate change and the complex terrain of rural areas,” Meng Gao, a climate modeling specialist at Hong Kong University, told Reuters earlier this week.

Last July, the “plum rains”, which coincides with the copper season, caused more than $ 10 billion in economic losses in China.
