US EditionPowerful typhoon makes landfall in Vietnam after more than 300,000 people ordered to evacuate
- On Monday, Typhoon Kajiki struck central Vietnam, leading authorities to order the evacuation of more than 586,000 individuals from several provinces in the region, including areas near the storm’s anticipated path.
- Authorities prepared the evacuations and closures after Kajiki rapidly intensified from a tropical depression on August 22 and was forecasted to have winds up to 166 km/h before landfall.
- Vietnam closed schools, airports, and suspended flights by Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet, while military and paramilitary personnel were deployed to assist evacuations and search-and-rescue operations.
- The Joint Typhoon Warning Centre noted an approaching weakening trend as Kajiki reached the Gulf of Tonkin’s continental shelf due to lower ocean heat content, while heavy rains and flooding hit affected areas including Vinh city and China’s Hainan island.
- Kajiki’s landfall as the fifth typhoon to affect Vietnam in 2025 underscores growing weather risks linked to climate change, with experts like Benjamin P. Horton warning the climate crisis is unfolding faster than expected.
