China downpours killed at least 50 people in Hunan province: CCTV

The downpours in late July were triggered by Typhoon Gaemi, which moved on from the Philippines and Taiwan to make landfall in China, hitting the hilly, landlocked Hunan province particularly hard.

Authorities evacuated nearly 300,000 people and suspended public transport across eastern China last month.

China has endured a summer of extreme weather, with heavy rains across the east and south, and much of the north sweltering in successive heat waves.

Heavy rain in the northern province of Shaanxi last month caused a highway bridge to collapse, killing at least 38 people.

China is the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases that are driving climate change and making extreme weather more frequent and intense.
