Hey everyone, heads up! Beijing is facing a serious flood situation as heavy rains swell the Chaobai River. The Chinese Ministry of Water Resources has activated a Level-IV emergency response to boost flood control measures. ⚠️
Since July 24, torrential rainfall has pounded the region. The Miyun Reservoir in the northeast suburbs recorded its largest inflow in over six decades, marking a significant moment in Beijing's weather history.
With moderate to heavy rains forecast in the next three days, small and medium rivers may even surpass warning levels. Local authorities are on high alert, ramping up rainfall and water level monitoring, reinforcing dike inspections, and issuing early warnings to protect lives and infrastructure.
Stay tuned for updates and take care, folks—safety always comes first! 🌧️💧
