The agency forecast Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan provinces as well as Guangxi would see torrential rain from Sunday to Monday afternoon.

Hainan local maritime authorities suspended the service of roll-on/roll-off passenger ships and cross-sea trains running in and out of the province. A total of 24,124 fishing boats have been put into harbor.

Ma Jianhua, official with the Yangtze River flood control headquarters, said Hato had brought about the obvious rising of water levels in the Yangtze. The headquarters has dispatched personnel to Sichuan and Yunnan to aid flood control.

In Yunnan province, two more people have been found dead in disasters triggered by Hato, bringing the death toll in the province to five.

Six people went missing after houses collapsed in a flood caused by heavy rain on Friday in Yanjin county. Rescuers found two bodies in the debris on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
