Meteorlogical authorities in China have issued a blue alert for heavy rains being brought on by Typhoon Goni.

The storm, which is circulating in the East China Sea, has been dumping heavy rains on Zhejiang over the past 24-hours.

"We are now using three water pumps to drain the floodwater and we also blocked the water from flowing out. The water is expected to recede soon,"

The storm itself remains classified as a severe typhoon.

It blew past the east coast of Taiwan over the weekend, and is continuing on a northward track.

Forecasters expect the storm to cross over southern Japan before burning out over the Korean Peninsula over the next couple of days.
