Guangdong has been experiencing heavy rainfalls recently, with significant precipitation and localized heavy rains in the southern part of the province on July 4.

At around 1 pm on July 4, affected by astronomical factors, the Pearl River in Guangzhou had its astronomical tide, with the largest and highest tide levels this year. The rising tide near Haiyin Park submerged the protective fence. Residents flocked to watch the tide and play in the water by the riverside.
