Heavy downpours are sweeping across China’s Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as Typhoon Doksuri makes its presence felt in the northern parts of the country. The typhoon has brought unprecedented rainfall, leading to widespread closures and safety measures to protect residents.
In Beijing, schools and extracurricular institutions have halted all outdoor teaching activities. The capital has also closed all sightseeing spots and parks, and canceled live performances to ensure public safety amidst the severe weather conditions.
The neighboring Hebei Province is also bracing for the impact. The provincial meteorological bureau and water conservancy department have issued alerts for mountain torrents. Some cities in Hebei are expected to experience heavy downpours ranging from 250 to 450 millimeters, prompting authorities to prepare for potential flooding and landslides.
Typhoon Doksuri’s impact on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is significant, as the area is not accustomed to such intense tropical storms. Residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates and follow guidance from local authorities.
The heavy rainfall is expected to continue over the next few days, with emergency services on high alert to respond to any incidents. National meteorological authorities are closely monitoring the situation to provide timely warnings and support to affected regions.
