China has maintained its highest-level rainstorm warning after Typhoon Bavi made landfall on the country's eastern coast, urging large-scale evacuations and emergency preparations across several provinces amid fears of severe flooding and landslides
China's National Meteorological Center has maintained a red rainstorm alert — the highest level in the country's four-tier warning system — after Typhoon Bavi made landfall late on Saturday in Zhejiang province before weakening into a tropical storm.
Meteorologists forecast torrential to extreme rainfall across Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, with heavy rain also expected to spread to Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Liaoning and Jilin as the storm moves inland.
Some areas are expected to receive several hundred millimetres of rain within 24 hours, significantly increasing the risk of flooding, flash floods and landslides.
Authorities have expanded emergency response efforts as heavy rain continues across northern China. In Beijing, nearly 96,000 people from more than 36,000 households have been evacuated as a precaution
The capital has already been hit by intense downpours, with the suburban district of Pinggu recording the highest rainfall.
Officials say reservoirs remain below critical levels, while emergency crews continue monitoring water systems and reinforcing flood-control measures as the storm moves inland.
Rainfall is expected to continue through the coming days as Bavi tracks northeast after making landfall.
Residents in affected areas have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel, remain indoors whenever possible and closely follow official weather updates as authorities monitor the risks of flooding, flash floods and landslides.
