Executive summary:As China gradually entered the main flood season from south to north, continuous heavy rainfall occurred in many places in the south. Since the 23rd, the heavy precipitation process has weakened in some areas along the Pearl River, but the flood situation in the Pearl River Basin is still severe. It is expected that the rivers, lakes and reservoirs will maintain a high water level on the 23rd. All localities will continue to go all out to fight floods and rescue to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.

The Pearl River Basin is the focus of current flood control, and the floods of the main streams of the Xijiang and Beijiang in the Pearl River Basin are currently evolving. On the 22nd, the water level of Guangdong Yingde Station, the main stream of the Beijiang River, once reached 35.97 meters, exceeding the warning water level of 26 meters by 9.97 meters, breaking through the extreme water level since the measured data were available in 1951. In addition, the water level of Guangdong Shijiao Station once rose to 12.22 meters, exceeding the warning water level by 1.22 meters, and the flow rate ranked first since the measured data in 1936.
In the face of the severe flood situation, the whole city of Yingde responded quickly and started a “safety protection war” against the torrential rain.exist
