Heavy rainfall of half a year fell over 5 hours, causing flash floods and serious damage in Shandong province, China.

Long-term heavy rains have killed two people and left 10 missing in Shandong province, eastern China, on July 22.

According to local authorities, Laiwu in Te Nam city experienced up to 364 mm of rain in just between midnight and 5 am. This figure is equivalent to half of the average annual rainfall of Te Nam city.

Due to the impact of heavy rain, flash floods occurred in the mountainous villages of Thach Vu Tu and Chu Gia Duc, collapsing or damaging 19 houses. Rescue forces are urgently deploying to search for missing people, with all resources mobilized.

This rain is part of an extreme weather phenomenon spreading across China due to the influence of the East Asian monsoon. Previously, the southern regions of the country were also affected by heavy rain when Typhoon Wipha made landfall in Hong Kong (China).

China's meteorologists said that extreme rain and severe flooding are becoming more common due to climate change. These weather conditions threaten to put pressure on the old flood prevention system, affecting millions of people and causing damage to the agricultural sector worth 2.8 trillion USD.
