The Chinese National Meteorological Center has issued warnings regarding an approaching typhoon that is expected to make landfall along the coast spanning Shenzhen and Haifeng in Guangdong province on Sunday morning. Due to the severe weather threat, a red warning, the highest level in the four-level warning system, was declared on Saturday evening. Residents in Guangdong and neighboring provinces—Hunan, Fujian, and Jiangsu—should anticipate heavy rainfall persisting from Saturday evening through Sunday evening.
The typhoon is expected to make landfall, with wind speeds potentially reaching between 151 and 173 kilometers per hour. In response to the escalating threat, extensive preparations have been implemented across the region. According to Xinhua news agency, over 340,000 individuals in Guangdong have been evacuated.
Furthermore, twelve provincial cities have taken precautionary measures, suspending various activities including classes, work, production, business operations, and transportation, either fully or partially. Travel disruptions are significant, with all train services across the province scheduled for suspension on Sunday. These comprehensive measures underscore the seriousness of the weather event and the efforts taken to ensure public safety as the storm approaches the coast.
