Shanghai Faces Deluge After at Least 30 Die in Beijing Flood

Shanghai is bracing for heavy rain from a tropical storm that’s tracking toward China’s financial hub, a day after flooding killed at least 30 people in Beijing and cut power to villages.

The heaviest precipitation in Shanghai is forecast to occur on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with some places potentially receiving 220 millimeters (8.7 inches), according to the national weather service. The storm, which struck the Philippines last week, will move past Zhoushan to the south of the mega-city — home to some of China’s largest oil storage tanks and refineries.
