Reasons for Abnormal Weather

2010-06-17 17:11:26 CCTV Web Editor: Zhang Jin

For more information on the severe weather in China's southern areas, we are joined by Halla Mohieddeen, from the China Meteorological Bureau.

1. This round of rainstorms has been battering a large part of Southern China since Sunday. How long will the extreme weather last?

2. Rainfall in southern China this year is much greater than in previous years, with floods and landslides. Everyday life and work has become impossible. Why is this year's weather so abnormal?

3. A yellow alert has been released. Can you explain to us what that means?
