Beijing had evacuated more than 70,000 residents by Monday afternoon and warned others to brace for a new round of heavy rainfall, a week after catastrophic floods killed dozens in the deadliest deluge to hit the Chinese capital since 2012.

At least 38 people have died in the #Beijing region in #China after it was battered by almost a year’s worth of rain in a handful of days, setting off flooding and landslides, cutting off power and forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people.

Beijing is getting drenched by another round of heavy rain, one week after torrential downpours across parts of the Chinese capital unleashed flooding that claimed at least 44 lives.
