In provinces such as Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Guizhou, 22 rivers have reported floods surpassing alert marks, posing significant challenges to local communities and infrastructure. Meanwhile, Heilongjiang Province in northeast China has seen 11 rivers experience above warning-line floods, further intensifying the crisis.
