Flash floods submerged a subway station amid the torrential rain in southern China.

The video was filmed in Changsha City in Hunan Province on June 24.

According to data from the China Meteorological Administration, Changsha received 65.1 millimetres of rain between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the 24th, breaking the local record for June's hourly rainfall.

With drainage systems unable to handle such downpours, numerous roads in the city suffered from severe flooding, and some subway stations were inundated. Particularly near Changsha Railway Station, subway stations were heavily flooded, greatly disrupting residents' commutes.

Subway operators announced that to ensure passenger safety, both Line 2 and Line 3 have been completely shut down.

6月24日，长沙市遭遇了一场罕见的暴雨袭击，导致市内部分地铁站被淹，给城市交通带来了严重影响。
中国气象局数据显示，长沙24日9时至10时雨量65.1毫米，打破当地6月单小时降雨量纪录。由于排水系统无法承受如此大的降雨量，导致市内多条道路积水严重，部分地铁站也遭受了水淹。特别是长沙火车站附近的地铁站，积水情况尤为严重，给市民的出行带来了极大的困扰。
地铁运营方表示，为了保障乘客的安全，地铁2号线和3号线已全线停运。
