Beijing experienced the heaviest rainfall in 140 years from July 29 to August 2. The city recorded 744.8 millimeters of rain between Saturday and Wednesday morning, the Beijing Meteorological Bureau said on Wednesday.
The record rainfall comes as northern China has been deluged with heavy rains as the remnants of Typhoon Doksuri moved north after earlier hitting southern Chinese provinces.
The earliest record of rain in Beijing in the history was on July 23-29, 1883, with 510.3 millimeters. On July 23, 1891, 609 millimeters of rainfall was recorded in Beijing, and this record was the maximum rainfall in history.
