Southern China is facing serious flooding after record-breaking rainfall hit Guangdong province, causing major damage and putting lives at risk. Heavy rain has flooded roads, damaged homes, and forced many people to leave their houses.
Rescue crews are working hard to clear the roads and help those trapped by rising water. Many areas are still under water, and more rain is expected, making the situation even more dangerous.
The flooding comes after weeks of extreme weather across China, where climate experts have warned that storms like this will become more common due to climate change. Videos from the region show cars underwater, streets turned into rivers, and families struggling to escape the floods.
Local people are calling on the government to improve drainage systems and flood protection. One commenter, reacting to the news online, said:
“China will need to invest in turbine and drainage systems as this will not be a one-off.”
Experts say the government must act quickly to prepare for future floods and protect communities.
Guangdong is one of China’s most developed provinces and is home to millions of people. The economic cost of this disaster is expected to be very high, with damage to infrastructure, homes, and businesses.
The Chinese government has sent emergency teams to help and is monitoring the situation closely. Weather warnings are still in place, and citizens are being urged to stay alert and follow safety advice.
