AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Multiple regions in China have recently experienced torrential rains. According to China's Central Meteorological Observatory, this round of storms is caused by the convergence of three weather systems, creating a circulation pattern similar to the plum rain season. A new, widespread rainfall is forecast from May 21 to 23 in central and eastern China, with moderate to heavy rain expected from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to northern South China, and even torrential downpours in some areas. The heavy rains have already caused at least 9 deaths and 16 missing persons in Hunan and Guizhou provinces.
