Alert for Typhoon Nari
Print Edition
China is on alert for Typhoon Nari as the storm entered the South China Sea yesterday morning and is forecast to bring strong winds and rainstorms to the region.
The center of Typhoon Nari was located about 645 kilometers southeast of Sansha City, Hainan Province yesterday afternoon, packing winds of up to 118.8km per hour.
It was moving westward at a speed of 15km to 20km per hour, said the Hainan provincial meteorological station.
Nari will gain momentum and sweep the waters near the Xisha Islands early tomorrow, the station forecast.
It urged vessels to return to harbor as soon as possible.
Flood control headquarters of Guangdong Province also initiated an emergency response yesterday for Typhoon Nari, warning of waves 6 to 9 meters high from tomorrow until Wednesday.
And the National Meteorological Center last night issued an orange alert for Nari — the second-highest warning in its four-tier color-coded weather warning system.
