NEWSAR · AI

Southern China is bracing for Typhoon Noul, prompting significant disruptions. The National Meteorological Centre issued an orange typhoon alert, the second highest level, as the storm moved northwest across the South China Sea. Typhoon Noul is expected to make landfall between Hong Kong and Huilai county in eastern Guangdong overnight, with wind speeds potentially reaching 151 km/h. In response, rail services in Guangdong are being cancelled, with all trains to be halted by Sunday. Schools have been closed, and residents are being evacuated. Authorities have advised boats to dock, large gatherings to be cancelled, and residents to stay indoors due to forecasts of strong winds and heavy rain in Guangdong, Fujian, and Taiwan. Tours of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge were also halted for two days, though the bridge remained open to traffic.
