Heavy rainfall is continuing to batter China, triggering flooding and emergency responses across multiple provinces in east, central and southwest China.
On Monday, torrential downpours — some reaching extreme levels — drenched parts of Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang provinces and Shanghai. Southern Guizhou was hit especially hard, with record-breaking rainfall in some areas.
The flood peak of the Liujiang River hit Liuzhou City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on Monday, with water levels 3.14 meters above the alert mark, flooding many roads and prompting emergency responses from many local departments.
By Tuesday morning, the water had receded to the warning level of 82.5 meters and is still falling.
Heavy rain has also caused significant flooding in Guangxi's Laibin City.
The flow at the Wuxuan hydrological station in Laibin reached 25,000 cubic meters per second at 17:30 on Monday, making it the first flood this year in the Xijiang River.
