TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Parts of coastal southern China suspended ferry services as a major storm passed into the South China Sea , bringing high winds and heavy waves to much of the region.The storm was downgraded Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from Typhoon Man-yi, which left seven dead in the Philippines and worsened the crisis caused by back-to-back storms that battered the disaster-prone nation.
It is now categorized as a low pressure area lingering south of China’s Hainan Island, according to the Hong Kong Observatory, which said its maximum sustained winds were a relatively mild 40 kilometers per hour.Climatologists have predicted a greater frequency of such storms, but better preparedness and early warning systems in the Asia Pacific nations most affected have helped mitigate some of the most dire consequences.
