China continues to experience heavy rainfall. The deadly rains that devastated the south moved north and hit the previously drought-stricken central province of Henan and the northern province of Hubei. On Sunday, four people were killed in the city of Suizhou in Hubei when their car was washed into a river by the floods. Large parts of the grain province of Henan, which had been hit by a drought between April and June, were flooded by an „extremely heavy downpour“ on Tuesday, the South China Morning Post reported. Beijing has put 15 provinces on high alert. The risk of severe flooding is increasing.
