According to reports from the Meteorological Agency, Typhoon No. 13 (International Name: Bebinca), which formed over the southern seas of Japan, is expected to intensify as it moves towards the Okinawa region. It may approach and make landfall in mainland China (Zhejiang Province and the Shanghai City area) after Sunday, September 15.
According to the China Central Meteorological Observatory, as of September 11, another tropical depression is located over the East China Sea, and heavy rain has been observed in parts of Zhejiang Province, Shanghai City, and Anhui Province. As Typhoon No. 13 approaches and potentially makes landfall, the risk of widespread heavy rain, flooding, landslides, and high waves is expected to increase. Disruptions to various forms of transportation, including air travel, are also anticipated. It is important to remain cautious and vigilant.
If you plan to travel to or stay in regions that may be affected by this typhoon, please refer to the relevant websites below for the latest information on the typhoon and local weather conditions. If severe weather is expected, avoid traveling or going out, and consider changing your schedule, routes, or destinations to ensure your safety.
