Chinese forecasters have warned of more major weather events as the country continues to deal with the aftermath of former typhoon Bavi on Wednesday, July 15th, 2026. Jilin province in northeast China issued an emergency alert on Tuesday night for flooding of multiple rivers, prompting authorities to implement traffic controls, advise residents to stay indoors, and order evacuations for those living near rivers.

Jilin weather authorities reported that heavy rain has put at least 10 cities in the foothills of the Changbai Mountains at risk of landslides. This mountain range extends across northeast China and into North Korea. The National Meteorological Centre issued a yellow rainstorm alert, the third strongest in its four-tier warning system.

While the effects of typhoon Bavi are easing, forecasters expect more storms. China’s State Council has warned that five to six additional typhoons are likely to form in the northwest Pacific Ocean and South China Sea by the end of August, with two or three potentially making landfall or affecting China.

Heavy rain and flooding are anticipated across multiple regions through September. Beijing, Tianjin, Fujian province, parts of Guangdong province, and the autonomous regions of Tibet and Xinjiang are forecasted to receive 20 to 50 percent more rainfall than usual, according to the State Council, China’s cabinet.
