Multiple Chinese authorities recently held a meeting to analyze the likelihood of natural disasters in August across the country, forecasting that a range of natural disasters remained likely.
According to CCTV News on Monday, related departments affiliated with China's Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM), together with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and other authorities, held a meeting to assess the potential risk for natural disasters across the country occurring in August.
The analysis predicted that August will see China's seven major river basins fully enter their main flood season, leading to potential flood risks in areas like northeastern China and northern China. Water levels are likely to exceed the warning levels in some sections in basins like the Yangtze and Yellow River.
In August, strengthened severe convective weather will occur in China, with hail and windstorms likely to hit a wide range of areas, the analysis concluded.
The analysis also indicated that two or three typhoons will make landfall during August, impacting coastal cities in southern and eastern China.
