In addition, tea, bamboo, mushrooms and other crops in some villages and towns were affected, and power facilities were damaged.

2.Flood disasters have a long duration with wide range and large losses

From the middle of June to the end of August, due to the weak intensity of the Western Pacific subtropical high and frequent cold air, continuous and heavy rain occurred in some areas, local rainstorms or severe rainstorms, and floods occurred in Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Jinhua and other places.

In particular, from August 18 to 20, a large-scale heavy rainfall process occurred in southern Zhejiang, some large and medium-sized reservoirs exceeded the flood control water level, a basin flood occurred in Oujiang River with a discharge of once in 50 years. More than 60 kilometers along the Oujiang River Basin were flooded, when the 10 square kilometer area of Lishui City was immersed in the flood for 24 hours, the local accumulated water was more than 2 meters deep, which caused great loss of family property.
