Stormy Weather for China's Flood Season China's meteorologists are sounding the alarm as tropical storm Noul edges closer to its southern coast, threatening to unleash heavy rains and severe flooding on a country already reeling from previous downpours.
The timing is particularly ominous: China's flood season, known as Qixia Bashang, has officially begun, and experts warn that extreme rainfall will only intensify over the coming weeks.
The northern regions of China can expect up to 50% more rain than usual, exacerbating an already dire situation. This is not just a matter of bad weather; it's a symptom of a deeper issue.
