The Anhui provincial headquarters of flood control and drought relief described the heavy rains as rare in a historical perspective, Xinhua said.

The water level in 47 out of the province's 112 medium-sized and large reservoirs remained above the danger line.

China reported earlier this week that floods had killed 1,024 people and left another 293 missing in China so far this year.
