China has experienced swollen rivers, waterways, and reservoirs, leading to flooding and landslides that killed at least four people. Authorities have warned of more intense rains and heightened disaster risks in the coming days, with heavy rains intensifying around Beijing and surrounding provinces. CCTV reported that 41 rivers across the country have flooded, and heavy rains intensified around Beijing and surrounding provinces. In the suburban area of Miyun in Beijing, over 4,400 people had been resettled after flash floods and landslides inundated many villages. Emergency rescue services swam into a building and used ropes to rescue 48 people. Electricity cuts were also affecting more than 10,000 people in the area. Northern China has seen record precipitation in recent years, exposing densely populated cities, including Beijing, to flood risks. China’s Central Meteorological Observatory said that heavy rainfall would continue to drench northern China over the next three days. The storms are part of the broader pattern of extreme weather across China due to the East Asian monsoon, which has caused disruptions in the world’s second-largest economy.
