In Hubei, heavy rains have adversely affected around 3 million people, causing two deaths and leaving two missing. 2.66 million have been affected by continuous rainstorms in 545 townships of 50 counties under nine cities in Zhejiang. A total of 171,000 hectares of crops were destroyed too. 34698 people in106 villages in Dexing, Zhejiang Province have been isolated by the floods though 22861 have been evacuated. In the southwestern Guizhou and Sichuan, 16 people died in rain-triggered disasters and 29 were still missing.

In addition, the railway system has been influenced by the floods and rains. Yesterday, several trains were late for around 1 hour at the Shanghai South Railway Station. The Railway Departments said that the trains might be late in the next day or two due to the rain and floods.
