China: Nujiang River Rages in Yunnan, Torrents Sweep Through Area

This is the dangerous moment that the Nujiang River turned into a raging torrent, triggering a powerful flash flood after days of relentless rainfall. On May 31, 2025, in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, the video showed the Nujiang River surging with muddy, turbulent water. Fueled by continuous heavy rain and intensified by orographic lift, the river’s water level rose sharply, unleashing a devastating mountain flood. Water tore through the region with alarming force, visibly inundating the riverbanks and sweeping away debris in its path. According to preliminary data, rainfall across the Nujiang River basin exceeded historical averages by more than four times. Along the Dulong River in particular, rainfall over a three-day span surpassed 300 millimeters, with some areas experiencing over 100 millimeters of downpour in just a short period. The severe flooding damaged roads, farmland, and communication infrastructure, effectively cutting off transportation to several villages. The video ended with torrents of floodwater continuing to rush downstream, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.
