Beijing warns of geological disasters as storms lash Baoding again
BEIJING, July 26 (Reuters) - Beijing issued on Saturday a warning for geological disasters including landslides and mudslides after intense rainfall the day before, with storms circulating China's north unleashing for a second time a year's rain on nearby Baoding. The Beijing meteorological agency's alert for 10 of the city's 16 districts came as local authorities also warned of flash floods in mountainous areas. In neighbouring Hebei, extreme overnight rains in Fuping, a part of the industrial city of Baoding, saw records broken at a local weather station with 145 mm (5.7 inches) per hour of precipitation, state broadcaster CCTV said. The Xizhuang station recorded a maximum rainfall of 540 mm over an eight-hour period, superseding Baoding's average annual rainfall of about 500 mm. Just a day ago, storms dumped similar amounts of precipitation on Yi, another part of Baoding. The rain held destructive power, CCTV said, affecting more than 46,000 people and forcing 4,655 of them to evacuate. Northern China has witnessed record-breaking precipitation in recent years, exposing densely populated cities including Beijing to flood risks. Some scientists link the higher rainfall in China's usually arid north to global warming. China's Water Resources Ministry has issued targeted warnings to 11 provinces and regions, including Beijing and Hebei, for floods arising from small and medium-sized rivers and gushing torrents from mountains. The alert also sought to ensure that reservoirs and silt dams are safe during floods. Across the country, heavy rainfall has caused 13 rivers scattered through seven provinces to swell past their flood warning levels by as much as 1.4 m (4.6 feet), CCTV reported, citing the ministry's findings on Saturday morning. Among them, one tributary of Inner Mongolia's Dahei River and another of Shaanxi's Yanhe River recorded their biggest floods since records began. The storms are part of the broader pattern of extreme weather across China due to the East Asian monsoon, which has caused disruptions in the world's second-largest economy. In a separate bulletin, CCTV also said two small reservoirs in northeastern Jilin province were operating above the flood limit, as rivers continue to swell. Local authorities have begun activating five large reservoirs to help with flood water discharge. Extreme rainfall and severe flooding are highly monitored by Chinese authorities as they challenge the country's ageing flood defences, threaten to displace millions, and wreak havoc on a $2.8 trillion agricultural sector.

Wetheral Oak Tree animal shelter faces months of post-flood work
An animal charity said it has months of work ahead to fix its drainage system after flash flooding hit its Tree Animals' Charity in Wetheral, near Carlisle, had to move out about 20 cats and dogs after heavy rainfall last the clean-up operation begins, staff are finding out the extent of the damage and what needs to be done to prevent it happening again."Our drainage system has taken a real hit, it's full of all the sediment, so having to repair that is the big challenge," said Matt Notter, CEO at the charity. One of the kennel blocks will have to remain closed for the foreseeable future, but Mr Notter said all the animals in their care were safe, with some having moved to different dry spaces and others placed in foster homes or taken home by said: "We're surviving, we're managing, but I'd say the big impact is we've had to stop and delay some of the intake of some of the animals, so people waiting to bring animals in that need our help." He added other charities had reached out to support the shelter, but he was disappointed to have to slow down on new arrivals."We are finding as many ways as we can to overcome that."We're looking for more and more foster carers if anyone is interested in applying - that's a big help right now."An online appeal raised more than £24,000 in just three days, with cash donations and items also being handed by the community."We don't know the grand total yet, but it's a lot and we're obviously very grateful," Mr Notter said. "It won't cover all of the damage, [which] is more than that value once you start having to dig up things to fix drains."It starts to rack up very quickly."He added the shelter was hoping to receive support from a drainage or construction company to lend machinery or their the meantime, he said the prospect of another flood was his main concern."We're worried about anything happening overnight at the moment. "The animals are all in a place that didn't flood so we should be fine, but we're still worrying." Follow BBC Cumbria on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane weather: Chilly start to the weekend for millions of Aussies as mega rain band strikes
Millions of Australians have shivered through a wet and cold start to the weekend as a monster 3000km rain band closes in on the southeast. The rain will strike Newcastle, Taree and Port Macquarie on the NSW Mid North Coast before the system heads north to Brisbane in the afternoon. The Bureau of Meteorology's Angus Hines said the heaviest falls would hit parts of Queensland and parts of eastern and northern Tasmania, which could trigger some minor to moderate riverine flooding. 'The main thing with the weather event that we're seeing at the moment is perhaps not how much rain each place is getting, it's how extensive the rain has been and will continue to be across the country,' he told Weekend Today. 'It's just this huge band of wet weather which started off in Western Australia a couple of days ago, then yesterday and overnight it swept through South Australia. 'Today it's going to be across the eastern states and it's really stretching all the way from north Queensland down to the far south of Tasmania. 'So for most areas they're getting a little bit of rain, but not too many spots are getting us worried about major heavy rainfall or flooding or anything like that. 'So for a lot of places where it has actually been quite dry, this rain is more welcome than worrying.' Perth Saturday: Sunny. Min 3C. Max 16C. Sunday: Showers. Min 6C. Max 14C.
