Typhoon Bavi has produced sustained heavy rainfall in Jilin province. The Songhua River's Jilin section generated the first flood event of 2026, and the Meihe, a Huifa River tributary, recorded its largest flood since monitoring began. Forecasts for July 14–15 call for continued heavy to torrential rain in central-eastern and eastern Jilin; the Huifa River is expected to exceed warning levels along its length. Authorities warn of high risk for river floods, flash floods, geological hazards, small- and medium-reservoir failures and urban inundation. The national flood control headquarters upgraded Jilin's flood emergency response to Level III at 16:00 on July 14; previously dispatched teams are on-site providing guidance.
