The 2023 Pacific typhoon season is intensifying as Tropical Storm Haikui moves west-northwest, gradually gaining strength. Concurrently, Typhoon Saola, equivalent to a powerful Category-4 hurricane, is approaching the eastern and southern coastal regions of the Chinese mainland.
In response to the looming threat of Typhoon Saola, Shenzhen City has postponed the start of the autumn semester for primary and secondary schools by three days, shifting the commencement from September 1 to September 4. This decision aims to ensure the safety of students and staff amid the impending severe weather conditions.
Residents are advised to stay alert and follow updates from local authorities. Preparations are underway to mitigate the impact of the typhoon, with emergency services ready to respond as needed. For the latest information and real-time updates, tune into CGTN's livestream.
