For the past 10 days, heavy storms hitting southern China were reported in the news.Flooding in many provices. May I know which area should I avoid in Guangzhou? Is the city area in Canton save?

This is the period of the typhoon. So most parts of southern China will be affected and it can affect any areas. Nature leaves no mercy in its fury.
Just try your luck.

Typhoon Jelawat to land on S. China

Hit : 22 times Source:Xinhua 2006-06-28

　　The Guangzhou central observatory said here on Tuesday that the typhoon Jelawat, number two this year, will land on south China on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

　　As of 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, the center of Jelawat was located at 17.1 north latitude and 115.1 east longitude, which was about 600 kilometers southeast to the city of Yangjiang in Guangdong Province.

　　The top wind speed near the center is 18 meters per second and it is moving northwestward at the speed of 15 to 20 kilometers per hour.

　　The observatory said Jelawat might land on east Hainan or west Guangdong from Wednesday night to Thursday morning.

　　The typhoon is expected to bring rainfalls to the areas, which will ease the week-long high temperature in Guangdong.
