BEIJING: Despite weakening tectonic winds, the remnants of Typhoon Haikui soaked China for a second time after making landfall as moisture-laden clouds dumped rainfall onto the nation’s south.
Wind sky have also been moving west into one of the richest provinces in the nation, Guangdong, where the village of Tangxi has reported heavy rains and overflowing rivers, while forecasters in Fujian province continue to issue downpour warnings.
Twelve villages have been impacted, and a few of them are heavily waterlogged. According to state media, more than 350 people — including the elderly, women, and children — were moved from low-lying areas.
According to the China Meteorological Administration, heavy rainstorms are anticipated to fall in central and eastern Guangdong, Jiangxi province, Hunan province’s southern regions, the northern regions of the Gulf of Hainan, and the northern and southeast coasts of those provinces.
The storms in Guangxi are anticipated to persist later this year, bringing heavy rain to the southwest on Friday and Saturday before possibly dissipating on Sunday. For the towns of Guilin, Laibin, Guigang, and Wuzhou, officials issued warnings about mountain rivers and geographical catastrophes.
Early on Tuesday, Haikui’s storms landed in a portion of southeast Fujian province, forcing 294, 100 people to flee, flooding 9, 949.7 hectares of crops, and causing damage to virtually 2,540 homes.
According to state media, as the disaster continued to spread, economic losses in the province reached 5.054 billion yuan( US$ 690.81 million ).
Officials continued to issue warnings to locals about geographical tragedies like floods after rain in the port town of Xiamen broke a record for the longest heavy rains since such records started in 1953.
Severe storms in the town of Fuzhou broke 12-year-old snowfall records, surpassing what Typhoon Doksuri brought in late July.
