Typhoon Noul

Typhoon Noul, named by North Korea and meaning "glowing crimson skies," was moving northwest across the South China Sea towards southern China. The National Meteorological Centre issued an orange typhoon alert, the second highest level, as the storm intensified. In anticipation of Noul's approach, rail and air services were cancelled in Shenzhen, schools were halted, and residents were evacuated. Hong Kong's weather forecaster issued a No 3 typhoon signal, leading to the suspension of afternoon classes. The typhoon was expected to make its closest approach to Hong Kong between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Noul's trajectory and increasing intensity made it a significant weather event for the region, prompting widespread precautionary measures.
