"#China is currently facing severe #floods. China's capital #Beijing is submerged in floods. It's been raining in China for four consecutive days. In many places the floods are so severe that houses and vehicles were washed away. Even a powerful country like China has become helpless in the face of these devastating floods."

🇨🇳 Un poco en relación con el primer toot de hoy, estos días, en la prensa #china, se ha repetido un término, #灭顶之灾 (mièdǐng zhīzāi), que viene a significar algo como "desastre fatal" y es que una localidad al suroeste de #Pekín llamada #Zhuozhou (#涿州市), de unos 600.000 habitantes, ha estado cerca de ser arrasada por las inundaciones que ha sufrido la región al paso del tifón #Doksuri.

#Klimakollaps: "Tropensturm #Doksuri brachte heftige Regenfälle nach China, mind. 20 Menschen starbe. & der Regen nimmt kein Ende, insb. Nordostchina ist betroffen. Behörden melden weitere Tote & Vermisste, Tausende werden evakuiert."

It won't ever stop.

Nachwirkungen von Tropensturm »Doksuri«: Heftige Regenfälle in China halten an – weitere Tote gemeldet

Noch immer kämpft der Nordosten Chinas mit schweren Regenfällen. Allein in der Stadt Harbin mussten 53.000 Menschen evakuiert werden. Zehntausende Hektar Ackerfläche sind zerstört.

@NatureMC @pvonhellermannn Another reason for the severe #flood is #Supertyphoon #Doksuri strengthened the #SouthwestMonsoon (we call it #Habagat) which is wet air almost exactly on the #FullMoon when #tide is highest then immediately followed by #Khanun. It was #SevereRains for a week. The flood is indeed higher this time, we have to evacuate to the second floor of our house. The irony is, before the #typhoon, our problem was #watershortage due to the #ElNiño. #HighTide #Philippines

#ClimateDiary contemplating this image of a bride wading through flood water in church- a still from this Report on the aftermath of #Typhoon #Doksuri in the #Philippines.

This is not at all a comment on the actual people in the picture - i hope they had a good #wedding! - but taking it as a metaphor it’s made me think about human #Resilience and #Pluckiness but also about #BusinessAsUsual, no matter what. And the minutiae of what living with #ClimateChange entails

Low-lying villages in the northern Philippines were left inundated by flood waters

the Guardian

This on top of #Russia's grain blockade of #Ukraine is double bad news.

"Northeastern Heilongjiang, known as #China’s 'great northern granary,' is the latest area to suffer the aftermath of #Doksuri, which has killed at least 20 people, displaced thousands and flooded Beijing and several other cities since it made landfall in the south a week ago."

Biblical flooding in Beijing after heaviest rain in 140 years

More than 800,000 people were forced to relocate in and around #Beijing after nearly 30 inches of rain triggered some of the worst #flooding in the city’s history.

By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist and staff writer
Published Jul 31, 2023

"#Doksuri made landfall Friday in the Chinese province of Fujian, located roughly 1,000 miles (1,609 km) south of Beijing, and lost wind intensity over the weekend as it pushed inland. However, the tropical moisture fueled extreme rain across the country for days.

"More than 80,000 people were relocated due to flooding in Beijing, where 29.3 inches (744.8 mm) of rain fell between Saturday and Wednesday, the heaviest rain in the city in at least 140 years, The Associated Press said. It is unclear how many people are still trapped due to the widespread flooding."
