While heavy storms batter the southeastern coast, the southwest is being affected by severe drought.
The drought is especially affecting China's southwest Guizhou province. Over 5 million people and almost 3 million livestock are short of water.
The dry weather conditions began last July, and has dried up hundreds of reservoirs and rivers.
The drought prompted two villagers to venture into a cave to search for water, but ended up trapped. Luckily firefighters managed to rescue the pair.
With temperatures predicted to soar above 85 degrees Fahrenheit the coming days, no relief is in sight.
