Typhoon Noul makes landfall in Guangdong and causes major disruptions across southern China, as authorities issue high-level warnings and suspend transport services. Multiple reports say Noul lands near Huizhou at about 3:50am Sunday, bringing heavy rainfall and damaging winds to Guangdong and nearby areas. The National Meteorological Centre issues the first red typhoon warning of the year before landfall, its top level in a four-tier colour-coded system, and later indicates weakening as the alert is downgraded.
In Guangdong, travel disruption is widespread: high-speed rail services and flights across the province are cancelled, with rail stops and broader preparations described in reports. One outlet also reports schools being halted, residents being evacuated, and emergency measures being activated in multiple provinces beyond Guangdong. China’s disaster management authorities activate a Level-IV national disaster relief response for Guangdong. A central government allocation is reported for post-disaster recovery, aimed at restoring damaged infrastructure such as roads and public facilities.
While one source reports fatalities linked to flooding in a separate area, other reported details focus primarily on transport cancellations and the storm’s impact in southern China.
