The Greater Bangkok region is under a flood watch due to incoming storms after a heatwave. In Beijing, intense storms caused severe flooding, leading to at least 70 deaths, including 31 at a nursing home in Miyun district. Officials acknowledged unpreparedness and offered rare public apologies. The facility, on low-lying ground, was overwhelmed by unprecedented rainfall, leading to swift and deadly floods.
