Hey everyone, heads up! 🚨 The Chinese mainland is facing its first major flood of 2025 as heavy rains push the Luanhe River to critical levels in the Haihe River Basin. Early Monday at 4:30 a.m., the inflow rate at the Panjiakou Reservoir hit 2,270 cubic meters per second, and forecasts hint at a peak of about 4,000 cubic meters per second by night.
In Beijing’s suburban Miyun district, torrential rains have already led to the evacuation of over 3,000 residents. This flood event is a strong reminder of the importance of staying alert and prepared as extreme weather conditions become more frequent.
Since 1998, the Chinese mainland has numbered its floods to keep the public informed, enhancing awareness of flood risk prevention while helping authorities monitor potential risks to embankments. For tech-savvy, socially conscious readers across South and Southeast Asia, such updates are a nudge to rely on trusted weather apps and social channels for real-time alerts. Stay safe and keep updated! 💧
