Climate

[edit]

Zhuozhou is at a high risk of floods. It was heavily impacted by the 2023 China floods, and more than a sixth of the city's 600,000 residents had to evacuate. [3]

Zhuozhou has been described by Hebei communist party secretary Ni Yuefeng as being able to "serve as a moat for the capital" using flood storage and detention areas in the aftermath of flooding in Beijing as a result of Typhoon Doksuri.[4]
