STRONG tropical storm Rumbia landed in south China early this morning and is expected to move northwest, bringing gales and storms to regions along its path.
The National Meteorological Center (NMC) said Rumbia, the sixth tropical storm that hit China this year, made landfall in the city of Zhanjiang in southern China's Guangdong Province at 5:30am today.
The NMC said the storm will move northwest at a speed of 25 to 30 km per hour and will enter Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region this morning as it weakens.
From today to tomorrow morning, Rumbia will bring gales of up to 100 km per hour to regions along its path, including some coastal areas in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangdong and Hainan provinces, the center said.
Rumbia will also bring heavy rain to some areas in Guangxi and the provinces of Guangdong, Hainan and Yunnan.
The NMC warned local authorities to take precautions against torrential floods or other natural disasters that could be triggered by the rain.
