Floods have swamped a handful of cities in southern China's densely populated Pearl River Delta following record-breaking rains, sparking worries about the region's defences against bigger deluges induced by extreme weather events.
On Monday, rescuers on boats in China's flood-hit Guangdong province raced to evacuate trapped residents, carrying some elderly people by piggyback from their homes and deploying helicopters to save villagers caught in landslides.
The province once dubbed the "factory floor of the world" is prone to summer floods. Its defences against disruptive floods were severely tested in June 2022 when Guangdong was pounded by the heaviest downpours in six decades. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated.
Since Thursday, Guangdong has been battered by unusually heavy, sustained and widespread rainfall, with powerful storms ushering in an earlier-than-normal start to the province's annual flooding season in May and June.

when the Chinese recognise the flooding has increased yoy you have to begin to have a niggling doubt in the anti-science brain.

a lack of doubt denies the claim that such people are 'sceptic'. its outright denial of the recorded temperature changes and the effects are now quite obvious.... undeniably so.

when all doubt is gone, you know you're wrong.

Such a shame they continue to build coal fired power stations at an exponentially increasing rate.
