Hailstones the size of eggs damaged cars and windows in several parts of the Guangzhou districts of Zengcheng and Panyu. Guangzhou authorities announced on Saturday that the city’s total rainfall for the month had already reached 455.8mm, the highest for April since 1951.“Days of heavy rains have caused rainwater to penetrate from the building’s exterior walls to the walls of the bedrooms,” Zhu said.
