China's State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters on Saturday upgraded its emergency response for flood control from Level IV to Level III, as torrential rain continued to batter the southern part of the country.

The Ministry of Water Resources on Friday activated a level-IV emergency response to flood risks in the country's central and southwestern regions.

由于未来一周南方强降雨仍将持续，国家防总决定于6月4日将防汛应急响应由Ⅳ级提升至Ⅲ级。

Multiple rivers in provincial-level regions such as Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou are expected to see water levels rise sharply, according to the ministry.

水利部6月3日针对江西、湖南、广西、贵州四省区可能发生的汛情，启动洪水防御Ⅳ级应急响应。
