Southern China continues to be hit by record rainfall, affecting 3.75 million people in Guangxi province alone, one of the worst-hit areas. The downpour and rain-induced disasters, such as floods, have engulfed homes, crops and roads, causing direct economic losses of more than 12.48 billion yuan (US$1.86 billion). Summer floods are a common phenomenon in parts of China, but the weather has become more extreme in recent years due to the effects of climate change.
