Hey squad! China is doubling down on coping with extreme weather 🌦️🌪️ as global warming cranks up the frequency and intensity of storms and floods.
Since 2011, research shows the zone in China getting 400–800 mm of rain annually has expanded significantly, marking a major shift in precipitation patterns.
The China Meteorological Administration warns that extreme heavy rainfall now triggers longer, more destructive chains of disasters—from floods to landslides—impacting communities across the country.
To tackle this, efforts are focusing on beefing up early warning systems, upgrading urban and rural infrastructure, and using real-time data to respond faster when storms hit.
Why it matters here? From Mumbai’s monsoon floods to Jakarta’s flash floods, our region knows the sting of extreme weather. Keep an eye on how these moves might inspire new climate-tech solutions and community resilience projects near you! 🌏💡
