Matsa, the ninth tropical storm of the year, is approaching southern and eastern coastal provinces at a speed of about 20 kilometres per hour and is expected to make landfall during the weekend.

Experts say the storm is likely to turn into a typhoon and bring heavy rains, storm tides and devastating strong winds to 皇冠体育app's coastal areas as well as areas along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze, a region covering most of Central 皇冠体育app and parts of East 皇冠体育app.

"This month there are a lot of typhoons forecast; five to six are forming in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and the South 皇冠体育app Sea," Wang said.

"At least three of them are likely to land along 皇冠体育app's southeast coastal areas," he said.

Northeast 皇冠体育app and parts of northwestern provinces aside, the hot and muggy weather will continue this week across the country.

The Shanghai Meteorological Centre posted a high-temperature black alert yesterday - meaning that the mercury had hit 38 C.

The centre issues a red alert when the peak temperature exceeds 35 C, and a black if it touches 38 C.

The number of hot days has increased sharply compared to last year so far there have been 22 alerts for 35 C or above compared with nine last year.
