Heavy flooding has submerged roads across northern China following severe rainfall from Tropical Storm Bavi. Videos on social media documented people swimming through neighborhood streets in Hebei and Liaoning provinces, illustrating the severity of the inundation.

Authorities have warned that the weakening storm system will continue to pose a significant flood threat across a broad region. The storm is expected to dump torrential rain across Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. The rainfall is exacerbating flood risks in areas that have already been saturated by earlier downpours, intensifying the danger to residents and infrastructure in these regions.
