Typhoon Doksuri is just the latest in a series of heavy rains that have ravaged cities across the world amid rising temperatures and a spiraling global climate crisis. 

In July, Chinese sources reported that heavy-rain-induced floods claimed the lives of 11 people in Beijing.

In that same month, 9 people died in the province of Hebei. 

Overall, a total of 44,673 people in 13 districts of Beijing were impacted by the heavy rains, while hundreds of thousands were evacuated. 

Last Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping issued instructions to local authorities to make every effort to rescue missing or trapped people.
