Bopha, with central winds of 120 km per hour and gusts of up to 150 km per hour, battered the Philippines yesterday, killing more than 280 people.
Jointly influenced by the typhoon and a cold front moving south, there will be strong winds ranging from 41 to 62 km per hour in the southeastern, central and northern parts of the South China Sea over the next three days, the National Meteorological Center said in a statement on its website.
Central winds could reach 104 to 180 km per hour in the waters, according to the statement.
