New Delhi: Typhoon Talim became the first typhoon to make landfall in China this year. It prompted the authorities to issue flood warnings, cancel flights and trains, and order people to stay at home, reported Reuters.
According to Reuters, winds stronger than 150 kph would put Talim in the severe typhoon category, very rare for a typhoon this early in the rainy season.
The Guangdong weather bureau said that Talim was expected to move at a speed of 20 km per hour northwest and into the Guangxi region early on Tuesday. The national forecaster has urged authorities in Guangdong and Hainan to be on standby to respond to the typhoon.
