Flooding

Flooding is common during the wet season (May to November). Large areas of central, southern and western China, particularly those bordering the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) experienced severe flooding in June 2011. Gansu Province experienced major flooding in May 2012. Heavy rains also triggered landslides in Zhejiang and Hubei provinces. In July 2012, Guizhou Province and Beijing were similarly affected. Monitor local weather reports and follow any evacuation orders.

Typhoons

The typhoon season in China normally runs from May to November, affecting in particular the southern and eastern coastal regions of China. You should monitor the progress of approaching storms on the Japan Meteorological Agency and the China Meteorological Administration websites.

Avoid visiting isolated or rural areas if a typhoon system is forecast. There are sometimes large-scale evacuations, particularly in the coastal regions of southern China. You should follow the advice of the local authorities. Air travel and other forms of transport can be affected. Check with your airline or travel operator for further details and try to keep in touch with family and friends.

See the FCO’s Tropical Cyclones page for advice about what to do if you are caught up in a typhoon.
