Between 8pm Saturday to 7:30am Sunday, Jinshan’s Langxia area in Shanghai has recorded precipitation of 31.3 millimeters, the most severely affected areas in Shanghai by then.

By wee hours in Sunday, 192,727 people have been evacuated to the safe places, including school campus and community center, said city's flood control headquarters.

Temporary speed limits on Nanpu, Yangpu, Lupu and Xupu bridges over Huangpu River were later lifted by 1:30pm, but drivers are still required to drive under 80 or 60 kilometers per hour on certain parts of the city's expressways. Donghai Bridge opened to traffic again at 4pm, but motorists are limited to drive under the speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

By 2:20pm, the Yangtze River Bridge and Tunnel were open to traffic again while all ferry lines remained shut. All bus services running between downtown Shanghai and Chongming Island were restored at 2:10pm.
