In April 2024, heavy rains caused floods in China, mainly affecting Guangdong Province.[1]
In Guangdong Province, at least four deaths were confirmed, while 10 people were missing. As many as 110,000 people were evacuated.[1] Tens of millions of people were reported affected.[2]
Landslides in Shaoguan caused by heavy downpours injured six people and damaged 80 homes. Losses were estimated to be around 140 million yuan.[2] Waterlogged soil led to a highway collapse in Meizhou on 2 May, killing at least 48.[3]
