China's national observatory on Monday renewed a yellow alert for rainstorms in many parts of the country and called for taking precautionary measures.

From 8 a.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Tuesday, heavy rains and rainstorms are expected in parts of Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Anhui, Hubei, Chongqing, Guizhou and Hunan, according to the National Meteorological Center.

According to the forecast, parts of Shanxi, Henan, Yunnan and Guangdong are likely to see rainstorms with up to 160 mm of rainfall.
