South China's Hainan Province is gearing up for the impact of Typhoon Yagi, the 11th typhoon of the year, as local authorities activate a level IV emergency response. The storm, currently moving into the eastern South China Sea, is steadily intensifying and is expected to make landfall along Hainan's eastern coast and Guangdong's west coast by Friday.
Meteorologists warn that Typhoon Yagi could reach wind force levels 15-17, classifying it as a strong or even super typhoon. Residents can expect powerful gusts from Tuesday night through Sunday, and heavy rainstorms are anticipated to slam Hainan Island from Thursday to Saturday.
With the province bracing for intense weather conditions, it's crucial for residents and travelers alike to stay informed and take necessary precautions. Follow local updates and heed the guidance of authorities to ensure safety during the typhoon's passage.
