Monsoon Rains Cause Floods Across Asia

Heavy seasonal rains have triggered severe flooding and landslides across South and East Asia, notably impacting Bangladesh, China, and Thailand. Bangladesh faces extreme rainfall warnings and potential landslides in several divisions, with authorities cautioning maritime ports and residents about waterlogging. In China, relentless 'Plum Rains' have led to red alerts, deadly flash floods, mass evacuations, and ongoing rescue operations, with Rongjiang county in Guizhou province particularly affected. Authorities in northern and northeastern China, including Beijing and Tianjin, are preparing for further storms and the possibility of tornadoes. Thailand's Sai River has overflowed in Chiang Rai, prompting flood warnings and monitoring of the Mekong River, which is not expected to breach its banks. Residents across affected regions are urged to stay vigilant, follow official guidance, and prepare for further adverse weather.
