for a second day and flights cancelled as one of the strongest storms to hit Asia this year headed for landfall along Hainan's tropical coast.
Winds and rain were accompanied by powerful thunder and lightning across the region overnight and on Friday morning. "Intense rainbands associated with Yagi will bring heavy squally showers to the territory," it said, warning residents to stay away from the shoreline.

From 1949 to 2023, 106 typhoons landed in Hainan but only nine were classified as super typhoons.
