Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province are hit by torrential rain as a result of Typhoon Ampil, which made landfall in Shanghai on Sunday before heading north.
Typhoon Ampil-the 10th typhoon of the year-has weakened after making landfall on Shanghai's Chongming Island at 12:30 pm on Sunday.
The China Meteorological Administration previously forecast that the weakened Ampil will continue moving northward to the eastern part of North China and then into Northeast China on Tuesday and Wednesday.
