Chinese authorities have warned of increased flood risks across northern China during the summer months, predicting more frequent and intense storms between June and August.
The alert, issued by the Ministry of Water Resources and reported by state broadcaster CCTV, signals growing concern about the impact of extreme weather patterns on key areas of the country.
According to the ministry, northern China is expected to face “more frequent and more intense” storms and flooding over the coming months. While summer floods are common in southern China, this shift northward reflects an evolving climate pattern. The ministry said preliminary forecasts point to a higher risk in regions that are not typically as vulnerable during the summer flood season.
The warning follows a year in which extreme weather has already disrupted daily life in parts of China. Earlier reports noted that the country had experienced a mix of intense drought and damaging rainfall. In Jiangxi province’s Xingang county, for example, heavy rains left rice fields submerged, affecting harvests and local livelihoods.
The latest forecast urges local governments to remain vigilant and prepare emergency response plans. The ministry’s assessment is part of a broader effort to manage the increasing challenges posed by climate-related disasters, particularly as China continues to face a growing number of extreme weather events.
