Authorities in Beijing have evacuated over 80,000 people as severe rainfall batters the Chinese capital, with flooding expected to intensify into Tuesday.
The city’s flood control headquarters confirmed the relocations late Monday, as emergency teams stepped up efforts to prevent further casualties. A red alert—the highest on China’s four-tier weather warning system—remains in place.
Officials have suspended operations at more than 3,200 construction sites and closed 201 tourist spots, nearly 3,500 homestays, and 245 campsites as a precaution. Residents have been urged to avoid low-lying roads, rivers, and mountain areas.
Heavy downpours are forecast to continue into Tuesday morning, prompting Beijing to activate its top-level emergency flood response. Warnings are in effect for Miyun, Fangshan, Mentougou, and Huairou districts.
The situation follows last week’s deadly storms, which killed at least 44 people, displaced hundreds of thousands, and destroyed thousands of homes.
China’s central authorities have also raised the emergency flood response level in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Guangzhou to Level III, with further rainfall expected in the coming days.
