BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Heavy rains are forecast in parts of north China and Sichuan Province over the next three days, China's meteorological authority said Sunday.

Parts of north China, including Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, northeast China, and Sichuan Basin will brace for torrential rains from Sunday to Tuesday, while Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces will see sweltering weather with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, the National Meteorological Center said in an online statement.

The lingering effects of Typhoon Wipha are forecast to bring rainstorms to southern parts of Yunnan Province and south China, the center said.

Strong tropical storm Francisco is gaining strength in the Northwest Pacific. It will be moving toward Japan over the next several days and could make landfall there, the center added. Enditem
