The 12th typhoon of this year, 'Hongxia', ceased numbering on the 27th, but its remnant circulation continues moving northward in China. Combined with abundant moisture brought by the southwest monsoon, this has resulted in sustained heavy rainfall and thunderstorm gale weather across most parts of Hubei province.
At 6 p.m. on the 27th, the National General Headquarters for Flood Control and Drought Relief activated a level IV emergency flood response for Hubei and Sichuan, where the risks of mountain torrents, geological disasters, and flooding of small to medium rivers remain high. On the 28th, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a yellow alert for rainstorms and a blue alert for severe convective weather.
