The island of Hainan is preparing for the first typhoon of the season in the Western Pacific, and the storm is expected to throw away heavy rain through parts of southern China as the system is approaching the coast.
It is assumed that tropical depression – named Wutip – will reach the strength of the typhoon on Friday morning and hit the intensity of the tip just before the Landfall in Hainan, according to the common warning center of the US Navy. Hong Kong released his initial warning of the cyclone, known as the emergency signal, No. 1.
The storm is in the South China Sea southeast of Hainan and about 660 kilometers south of Hong Kong.
The cyclone season in the Western Pacific usually runs from June to November and can cause loss of crops, near markets and schools and damage infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Super Typhoon Yagi hit Hainan at the end of last year with destructive wind before watching towards Vietnam and threw heavy rain all over the region, leading to a large flood.
Wutip is set to bring strong winds and torrential rain to Hainan, with parts of the island to gain from Wednesday to Saturday to 500 millimeters, according to the provincial meteorological office. The Vietnamese weather agency also warned of high waves and very harsh seas for cyclone.
Hong Kong, who ended the markets with the closure of markets last year, will experience wind conditions and occasional heavy showers when the tropical storm intersects Hainan and continues watching northeast to South China.
The 2024 season was the deadliest in more than ten years and the fourth most expensive in the record, mostly because of Yagi, according to the British Forecaster Tropical Storm Risk. It was also remarkable for firing six tropical storms that hit the Philippines in a five -week period that was driven by warming climate.
