OVER 100 flights, train rides and ferry services have been canceled as Typhoon Chan-Hom is bringing heavy rains and violent gales before its landfall.

Metro Line 16 are running at limited speeds on its elevated sections. The full line will suspend operation from 1pm today, metro operator said.

According to the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau, Chan-Hom was centered about 280 kilometers southeast of Shanghai at 10am today and will land on Zhejiang Province this afternoon. It has weakened to a severe typhoon and will remain this condition when it makes the landfall. After that, it will head northwestward and keep losing its strength. So when it sweeps over the city, it is expected to be a common typhoon or a severe tropical storm.

So far Shanghai has recorded a sustained wind of 14 to 24 meters per second and for some coastal areas the wind speed nearly hit 30 meters per second.

China Eastern Airlines canceled all its flights departing from Shanghai's two airports befora 6am tomorrow.
