Typhoon Bavi makes landfall in eastern China and brings strong winds and heavy rain, leading authorities to evacuate large numbers of people and suspend parts of transport. Multiple reports say Bavi reaches the coast in Zhejiang province, striking around late Saturday night, after which it weakens to a severe tropical storm as it moves inland. Ahead of landfall, authorities evacuate nearly two million people, with figures in some reports exceeding two million or reaching more than 2.4 million depending on the timing and regions covered. The storm tests preparedness in densely populated coastal areas and raises concerns about flooding, destructive winds, and landslides. Several outlets report widespread disruption to travel services, including cancellations and suspension of flights and trains as the storm threatens. State media cited by one outlet says thousands of flights are likely to be cancelled, with airport closures and large reductions in departures at major Shanghai airports. Additional reports warn that while Bavi weakens, it can still bring prolonged and widespread rainfall across eastern and northern China over the following days.
