Beijing residents are scrambling as heavy rainstorms trigger the city's second-highest weather alert, turning streets into rivers and forcing train suspensions. Northern districts like Changping recorded 42.9mm rainfall overnight, with orange alerts active in Shijingshan, Haidian, and three other areas through Tuesday morning.
🚇 Commuter chaos gripped the city as multiple rail routes paused operations. 'I rerouted three times before getting to work,' shared local tech worker Li Wei, 28, via WeChat. The municipal weather bureau warns the downpour could continue through Wednesday.
