TYPHOON BAVI DISPLACES 2 MILLION in China, Heavy Landfall Sparks Chaos in Zhejiang & Shanghai

BEIJING/TAIZHOU — Typhoon Bavi, the most powerful storm to strike mainland China this year, has inundated the capital city of Beijing with torrential downpours after slamming into the eastern province of Zhejiang. Moving inland as a severe tropical storm, the massive weather system triggered the urgent, mass evacuation of over 2.2 million people across Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Fujian provinces as municipal authorities raised emergency responses to Level I. Coastal cities like Yuhuan and Taizhou bore the brunt of the initial double landfall on Saturday night, witnessing massive storm surges, fierce gale-force winds, and destructive flash flooding before the storm system tracked northwest toward the capital grid. Although Beijing sits hundreds of miles from the initial coastal impact zone, the sheer size of the storm has unleashed localized urban waterlogging, severe transit disruptions, and widespread flight and rail cancellations. Emergency response units and municipal crews remain heavily deployed across northern and eastern China to clear landslide debris, restore disrupted electric power lines, and monitor active flood and landslide hazards. #typhoonbavi, #chinatyphoon, #beijingfloods, #zhejiangfloods, #breakingnews, #extremeweather, #shanghaistorm, #chinanews, #naturaldisaster, #weatherupdates Moneycontrol is India’s leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
