Typhoon Doksuri Weakens, But Flood Risks Loom in Northern China

Typhoon Doksuri, once a fierce force of nature, has downgraded to a tropical storm after battering parts of eastern China. The storm‘s center hovered near Jiujiang City in Jiangxi Province early Saturday, but its ripple effects are far from over.

Rainfall Red Alert

Heavy to torrential rain is forecast for Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi over the next 24 hours. Meteorologists warn of potential flooding and landslides, urging residents to avoid low-lying areas and stay updated on evacuation routes.

What You Need to Know

• Doksuri packed winds of up to 118 km/h as it swept through Fuzhou City.
• Transport disruptions are likely, with flights and trains already delayed in affected regions.
• Over 200,000 people were evacuated preemptively in Fujian Province earlier this week.

Stay Safe, Stay Informed

Authorities recommend stocking emergency supplies, securing loose outdoor items, and following real-time updates from local weather apps. This storm may have lost its 'typhoon' title, but its rain bands mean business.
