Causes of floods in Hebei:

There are many reasons for the flood disaster in Hebei province, and the influence of typhoon Du is one of them. The residual airflow of No.5 typhoon "Du" moved northward, and was influenced by Taihang Mountain and subtropical high, which formed a topographic uplift effect in Hebei and caused a lot of precipitation. At the same time, the No.6 typhoon "Kanu" did not land directly, but it also formed a strong typhoon level in Hebei Province, and continuously transported water vapor to Hebei Province, further aggravating the precipitation.

Besides typhoons, there are other factors that cause floods in Hebei. For example, the topographic uplift effect of Taihang Mountain and atmospheric circulation will also have an impact on precipitation. At the same time, human activities may also have an impact on the climate, such as deforestation and urbanization, which will lead to ecological imbalance and increase flood risk.
