China's Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is facing one of the most intense weather events of the year as Typhoon Doksuri, which slammed into the Chinese mainland's Fujian Province on Friday, continues to unleash heavy rain. Meteorologists warn of 'extreme rainfall' risks, with Beijing issuing a rare red alert ⚠️—the highest warning level—for torrential downpours on Sunday.
🏞️ Popular parks and tourist spots in Beijing have temporarily closed, while sports events—both indoor and outdoor—are canceled until further notice. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel as flooding risks rise. 'This storm system could break local rainfall records,' said a meteorologist from the National Meteorological Center.
🌀 Typhoon Doksuri has already caused disruptions across East Asia, but its northward path now threatens broader infrastructure and safety in northern China. Authorities emphasize preparedness, with emergency teams on standby. Stay tuned for updates and keep those umbrellas handy! ☔
