Severe torrential rains since July 23 have caused extensive flooding and flash floods in Beijing's Miyun district and the neighboring Tianjin region. Miyun district experienced precipitation exceeding 300 millimeters, reaching the threshold of an extreme rainstorm. The heavy rainfall led to the evacuation of more than 3,000 residents in Miyun and over 80,000 people in Tianjin’s Jizhou district, where 13 villages along the Juhe River were inundated, prompting a top-level emergency response. The inflow to the upstream area of the Miyun Reservoir increased significantly, with a total discharge volume reaching 120 million cubic meters as of July 29. Authorities mobilized nearly 1,000 armed police officers and soldiers to reinforce levees along the Chaohe River and other flood-prone areas. Local villagers also assisted in rescue operations, using boats and loaders to evacuate stranded residents. A resident in Miyun saved more than a dozen families by alerting neighbors before floodwaters submerged a village. A landslide triggered by the flash floods damaged a two-story building owned by a local family. In Tianjin, firefighters conducted life-risking rescues, including saving an elderly person from neck-deep floodwaters. The flooding in Tianjin was described as the most severe in 70 years.
