Typhoon Noul makes landfall in southern China early Sunday, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to Guangdong province and affecting nearby Hong Kong, according to multiple outlets citing state media. The storm crosses over land near the coast of Guangdong shortly after 3:50 a.m. local time, with authorities describing it as the strongest storm to hit China this year. Ahead of landfall, warnings prompt large-scale emergency measures, including suspending work and rail services and evacuating residents from coastal areas. Reports state that more than 340,000 people are evacuated in Guangdong, while other coverage places the figure above 715,000, with Guangdong authorities also relocating residents due to the severity of conditions. The typhoon triggers major transport disruptions: hundreds of flights are cancelled, and both China and Hong Kong implement storm preparations, including opening shelters. After landfall, several sources report the storm begins to move inland and then weakens, while heavy rain is expected to continue for at least several days, with forecasts extending into the following week. Overall impacts include flooding risk and widespread disruption across the affected region.
