Beijing Braces for One Third of Its Annual Rainfall in 24 Hours Beijing is preparing for a significant downpour that could bring nearly a third of the city's annual rainfall over the next 24 hours.
The storm will not only pose a threat to residents but also exacerbate the risk of urban flooding, which has become a recurring problem in China.
The scale of the impending deluge is alarming: forecasters predict more than 100mm of rain in six hours and over 150mm in a day.
