China is currently battling with record rainfall with the capital city Beijing and northern parts of the country drowning in floods. Typhoon Doksuri, which tore through the Pacific last week, still continues to wreak havoc triggering thousands of evacuations.
The situation is so intense in the second most populous country on the world that the weather service officials released a statement on Tuesday saying that the Chinese capital Beijing had received the ‘heaviest rainfall in over 140 years’, since the inception of record–keeping.
The torrential rains, up until Tuesday (August 1), had claimed the lives of at least 20 people while 27 people were still missing.
According to reports, since Saturday, the amount of rainfall that has been pouring has breached many local meteorological records.
