<p>In the Guangxi autonomous region, 145,000 people were relocated to safety and more than 10,000 houses were destroyed, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.</p>
<p>Another half a million people were affected in neighbouring Jiangxi province, where 433,000 hectares (one million acres) of crops were flooded, according to local authorities.</p>
<p>Around 274,000 people have sought relief in Guangzhou province, according to the provincial emergency management department.</p>
<p>The heavy rainfall has collapsed roads in some parts of cities and swept away houses, cars and crops.</p>
<p>The meteorological department has forecast more rain in coming days.</p>
<p>Chinese authorities on Sunday issued the year’s first red alert, the most severe warning, for possible mountain torrents.</p>
<p>China regularly experiences flooding during the summer months, most frequently in central and southern areas that tend to receive the most rainfall.</p>
<p>China’s worst floods in recent years were in 1998, when more than 2,000 people died and almost three million homes were destroyed, mostly along the Yangtze, China’s mightiest river.</p>
<p>The government has invested heavily in flood control and hydroelectric projects such as the massive Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze.</p>
<p>Globally, more intense tropical storms are on the rise as a result of climate change, leading to increased flooding, threatening lives, crops and groundwater.</p>
