Guangdong has experienced continuous rainfall since April and the weather is beginning to affect agricultural production. The Guangdong Department of Agriculture and Rural Development announced that spring sowing activities have been slow as a result of continuous rainfall. Excessive rainfall and limited sunshine significantly slowed down early-season rice development. Fruits and vegetables similarly show signs of distress such as yellow leaves. Some of the lychee, longan, and pomelo trees are dropping their fruit.
The Guandong Department also published "Guangdong Agricultural Weather Report for April 2019", which shows that temperatures were relatively high, but sunshine was limited, and rainfall was excessive. The average rainfall in Guangdong in April reached 309.7 mm, which is 64% higher than the April average in previous years.
