Typhoon Saudel lashes eastern China, prompting local authorities to suspend school activities and halt ferry routes in Fujian province on Thursday. Reports say schools in the cities of Fuzhou and Quanzhou stop in-person activities as heavy rain from the storm affects coastal areas.
CNA and the Hong Kong Free Press describe the disruption occurring after Saudel makes its third landfall in China along Fujian’s coast. Free Malaysia Today adds that the typhoon had already hit neighbouring Zhejiang province twice before reaching Fujian.
Across the outlets, the shared focus is on weather-driven measures taken to reduce risk from severe rainfall, including education shutdowns and transport interruptions. The reports also reference broader recent impacts from multiple extreme weather events across China in the past few months, with authorities evacuating large numbers of people in earlier storms, underscoring ongoing preparedness amid frequent typhoon activity.
