Huge floods and heatwaves in China: What's causing them?

Record floods in southern China this month displaced more than half a million people. Though summer floods are common in southern China, their climate forecasts said this flooding will be "relatively worse" and "more extreme" than before.

On the other hand, in central and northern China temperatures crossed 40 degrees Celsius. Cement roads cracked up in the heat. Seven provinces warned millions of residents not to go outdoors.

What is causing these extreme weather conditions? China Meteorological Administration has said that extreme weather and climate events have become more widespread. Earlier in March, its National Climate Centre warned that global warming and La Nina events are becoming more common in China.

What is La Nina? It refers to the large-scale cooling of surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, causing devastating floods in South China, India and
