Heavy rains will hit China's southern coastal and northeastern regions as well as parts of the Sichuan Basin over the coming three days, the meteorological authority said Saturday.

Southern coastal areas of the provinces of Guangdong and Hainan, as well as Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, will see massive downpours, as the tropical storm Nock-Ten, which had entered Beibu Bay after passing Hainan's Changjiang County, continues to move westward, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said.

Heavy rains will also hit western and southern regions of northwest China, the central eastern part of the Sichuan Basin, the southeastern part of northwest China, it said.

Meanwhile, thunderstorms will hit the western and northern parts of the Sichuan Basin, the southwestern part of Shaanxi Province and the Liaodong Peninsula, it added.

Scorching heat will continue to hit most areas south of the Yangtze River, the northern part of Guangxi, the municipality of Chongqing, the eastern part of Guizhou Province and the northern part of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with temperatures predicted to exceed 35 degrees Celsius.
