Torrential Rain in China

Patterns running from pale green to deep blue are draped over southern China, showing rainfall totals for the week of June 4 through June 11, 2007. Though seasonal rains are not unexpected in the area, the rain that fell during the week was torrential and relentless. As the image shows, a broad stretch of China received up to 200 millimeters of rain, and some areas were inundated with up to 500 millimeters.
