Flooding and torrential rains in southwest China has left 14 people dead and 35 missing. The region had previously been dealing with its worst drought in 50 years.
According to state-run media Xinhua says tens of thousands are affected. Floodwaters which surged through 11 cities and counties in Guizhou Province have stranded 3,000 people, toppled 100 homes and forced at least 45,000 residents to flee their homes.
More rain is forecast for Tuesday.
Other areas of China have welcomed the much-needed rain. Included are the major rice-growing provinces of Hubei and Hunan.
The drought has hit thousands of square miles of farmland, mainly in the five provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
