Recently, Guilin City in Guangxi has been hit by rare heavy rainfall, causing the water levels of major rivers like the Li River to surge dramatically. Due to continuous downpours, severe flooding occurred on June 19th, leading to significant water accumulation in the waiting hall of Guilin Railway Station. This forced the railway authorities to suspend passenger services at the station, severely impacting local transportation and travelers.

Starting from the evening of June 12th, Guilin has been under relentless rain. By 5 PM on June 19th, the water level at Guilin Station had risen to 148.55 meters, exceeding the warning level by 2.55 meters, marking the highest flood level in the region since 1998.

The flood disaster not only disrupted the normal operations of Guilin Railway Station but also caused significant challenges for local residents. Multiple areas along the Li River were submerged, with water levels in some homes reaching as high as the second floor, leading to widespread power outages. Several famous tourist spots were forced to close, and many bus routes were suspended. In response, the Guilin Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters elevated the city’s flood emergency response to the highest level at 10:20 PM on June 19th, aiming to effectively manage the flood situation.

The Guangxi Meteorological Bureau forecasts that while the rain may weaken in the coming days, the northern regions of Guangxi will continue to experience rainfall. It is expected that major rivers, including the Gui River and Xiang River, will remain above the warning levels. The flood control situation remains critical, and relevant authorities must stay vigilant to ensure the safety of residents' lives and property.

近日，广西桂林市遭受罕见强降雨袭击，导致漓江等主要河流水位急剧上升。受持续暴雨影响，6月19日，桂林火车站候车大厅出现严重积水，迫使铁路部门暂停了该站的客运业务。这一突发事件对当地交通和旅客出行造成了重大影响。

据了解，从6月12日晚间开始，桂林市便持续遭受暴雨侵袭。至6月19日下午5时，桂林站水位已攀升至148.55米，超出警戒水位2.55米，成为自1998年以来该地区遭遇的最大洪水。

此次洪水灾害不仅影响了桂林火车站的正常运营，还对当地市民的生活带来了诸多困扰。漓江两岸多处被淹，部分住宅的水位甚至高达二楼，出现大面积停电现象。同时，多个知名景点被迫关闭，多条公交线路也暂停服务。为应对此次灾害，桂林市防汛抗旱指挥部在6月19日22时20分将桂林市防汛二级应急响应提升为一级应急响应，全力做好防汛工作。
广西气象局预测，尽管未来几天雨势将有所减弱，但桂北地区仍将持续降雨。预计未来一段时间，包括桂江、湘江在内的多条河流还将出现超警戒洪水。防汛形势依然严峻，相关部门需继续保持高度警惕，确保人民群众的生命财产安全。
