Beijing, en.SERU.co.id – Although Typhoon Bavi has weakened into a tropical depression, its remnants continue to unleash torrential rain and dangerous flash floods across northern China as of Tuesday, July 14, 2026. Authorities remain on high alert, prioritizing urgent rescue operations and large-scale recovery efforts.
According to China’s state news agency Xinhua, authorities have intensified flood control and disaster relief efforts as the remnants of Typhoon Bavi continue moving northwest. Extreme rainfall is still pounding provinces such as Hebei, Liaoning, Beijing, and Anhui.
In Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning, rainfall reached a record 340 mm in 24 hours until Tuesday morning, turning streets into rushing rivers. Authorities closed schools, suspended train operations, and relocated more than 171,000 residents. Firefighters were deployed to rescue drivers trapped in vehicles.
In neighboring Hebei province, flash floods swept dozens of vehicles off highways and cut off around 1,800 people near the Luan River.
“There have been no reported deaths up to now,” a Hebei provincial emergency response official told state media on Tuesday, although rescue operations were still underway.
Beijing and surrounding areas remain under a red rainstorm warning, the highest level in China’s warning system. The central government has deployed emergency supplies and is monitoring major dams and rivers to prevent further disasters.
In Zhejiang, where Bavi made landfall on July 11–12, recovery is progressing gradually. Thousands of canceled flights and train services have begun resuming, although flooding and landslides still threaten mountainous areas.

Bavi was described by multiple international outlets, including Reuters, as the strongest typhoon to strike mainland China this year, prompting the evacuation of nearly two million people ahead of its landfall. Separately, flooding triggered by Typhoon Maysak in southern China has claimed 39 lives.
The weather situation remains fluid. China’s National Meteorological Center has warned of the possibility of continued heavy rain for the next several days. Residents are urged to stay vigilant and follow instructions from local authorities.
