US EditionA Typhoon Landed in China's Hainan Island at a Severe Tropical Storm Level
- Typhoon Wutip made landfall late on Friday in Basuo township, Dongfang city on China's Hainan island at a severe tropical storm level.
- Wutip developed into a tropical storm on Wednesday above the waters of the South China Sea, with its strengthening influenced by atmospheric conditions that had delayed earlier typhoons this year.
- Authorities evacuated thousands, closed schools, suspended flights and high-speed rail services in Hainan and Guangdong provinces, and activated rescue boats and helicopters as heavy rain and possible tornadoes were forecast.
- Wutip reached peak winds of approximately 119 km/h; in response, over forty-nine thousand fishing vessels sought shelter in ports, and authorities prepared rescue ships and several tugboats to reduce the storm's effects.
- Wutip is expected to maintain severe tropical storm intensity, bring torrential rainfall exceeding 100mm, and possibly make a second landfall near the Guangdong-Guangxi border, suggesting ongoing regional disruptions.
