Severe flooding in Guizhou province, China, has forced over 80,000 people to evacuate, according to state media. Emergency response levels have been raised, with rescue teams deployed to the worst-hit areas. In Rongjiang county, a football field was submerged under three metres of water. One resident described the water rising rapidly, prompting rooftop rescues. The floods come amid a wave of extreme weather across China, including record heat in Beijing and mass evacuations in Hunan due to heavy rain.
