Heavy rain in China

Hot 1750 views. 2016-7-21 09:29 | China

This week for the south to the north of China, with record-breaking downpours, flooding, landslides and loss of lives, China is coping with a seemingly endless string of extreme weather conditions and disaster this summer. As the news from TV 1.73 million people in 131 counties of six provinces were affected, according to the official government information.

Beginning on Tuesday of this week, downpours in Shanxi, Hebei and Hubei provinces hit a record high for precipitation before torrential rains spread to much of northern China on Wednesday and brought the most precipitation this year, many northern cities raised their flood alert to the highest level on Wednesday including Shi Jia Zhang. In Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, the strong downpour are expected to continue in the coming days, but lucky today Beijing is cloudy, no rain yet so far, so the forecast is making us upset sometime.

The increase in casualties was blamed on the heavy rainfall since the start of the flooding season on March, somebody was trapped in the car under one of bridge in heavy rain day, which was very famous cased to alert the people pay more attention when driving during bad weather day.

Geological disasters like landslides usually peak from July to September, thus leaving the country facing higher risks than usual, especially in southern mountainous area, the northern regions, which previously did not have large rainfall and therefore the mountain soil is loose, will face high risk of geological disasters, requiring full preparation from governments.

We should care ourselves, before going out or travel to care about the weather forecast even sometime is ridiculous, but we have no any other choice, The safe is most important right now.

Yeah, the heavy rain has caused so many disasters in recent days. Each morning, I would watch CCTV news when I had breakfast in the dinning hall and I was shocked by the floods caused by the rain. Honestly, I couldn't imagine how powerful the flood was, however, the rainstorm happened yesterday in Beijing let me experience that in person. I was really terrified and I realized the nature was so uncontrollable and unimaginable.

So just hope the weather come to normal and people's life come to normal.
