Summary of Key Points Core Viewpoint - The National Disaster Reduction Committee and various ministries have assessed the natural disaster risk situation in China for August 2025, indicating high risks of floods, typhoons, forest fires, geological disasters, and droughts across multiple regions. Flood and Storm Risk - In August, significant rainfall is expected in regions including North China, Northeast China, East China, South China, and Southwest China, leading to a high risk of floods and severe weather events such as thunderstorms and hail. Major rivers like the Daqing River and the Liao River may experience significant flooding [1][2] Typhoon Risk - An estimated 4-5 typhoons may form in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea, with 2-3 potentially impacting coastal areas of China. This is close to the average for this time of year, with one typhoon expected to affect areas north of the Yangtze River [2] Forest Fire Risk - High lightning activity in regions such as Daxing'anling and Northern Xinjiang increases the risk of forest fires. Certain areas in Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, and Hubei are classified as having a higher risk of forest fires, while the overall grassland fire risk remains low [2] Geological Disaster Risk - High geological disaster risks are anticipated in various regions, including parts of Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Yunnan. Specific areas in Western Yunnan are noted for particularly high risks of geological disasters [2][3] High Temperature and Drought Risk - Areas such as Inner Mongolia, Hubei, and Sichuan are experiencing drought conditions. In August, regions like Hubei and Sichuan are expected to have below-average rainfall, with increased days of high temperatures (≥35°C) compared to historical averages, leading to a heightened risk of drought [3]
