Central China Battered by Rainfall, With More Still to Come

Relentless rainstorms have battered central China’s Hunan province and neighboring regions over the past week, with forecasters warning that more downpours are likely through the end of June.

Since June 18, severe weather has already triggered flash floods, river overflows, and widespread urban waterlogging, displacing tens of thousands of people across several provinces including Hunan and Hubei, and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Authorities remain on high alert as saturated ground and swollen rivers increase the risk of further flooding and landslides.
