China's southern provinces and cities brace for the arrival of super typhoon Yagi. The typhoon made landfall in the Philippines earlier this week. HONG KONG: China's southern provinces and cities braced for the arrival of super typhoon Yagi, shutting schools and postponing flights ahead of its expected landfall along Hainan's tropical coast, in what could be the most powerful storm to hit in nearly a decade.
Yagi is expected to move westward at a speed of 10 to 15kmh bringing torrential rains to the southern coastal areas of Guangdong and Hainan island. It is due to make landfall along the coast from Qionghai, Hainan to Dianbai, Guangdong from the afternoon to the night of Sep 6. Hong Kong said it would consider issuing its third-highest typhoon signal on Thursday afternoon, which would shut down many businesses and reduce transport in the special administrative region.
