Yagi registers as the world’s second-most powerful tropical cyclone in 2024 so far.
HONG KONG – Southern Chinese provinces and cities braced for the arrival of super typhoon Yagi, shutting schools and postponing flights ahead of its expected landfall along Hainan’s subtropical coast, in what could be the most powerful storm to hit China in years.
It is expected to move at a speed of 10kmh to 15kmh, bringing torrential rains to the southern coastal areas of Guangdong and Hainan island. Hong Kong said it would issue its third-highest typhoon signal, 8, on Sept 5 at 6.40pm, which will shut many businesses and reduce transport in the special administrative region.
