Severe tropical storm Talim is forecast to make landfall as a typhoon in the south of China on Monday night, the country's weather forecaster said, with local authorities cancelling flights, recalling ships and warning residents to stay home.
China Meteorological Administration issued an orange alert for Talim on Monday, saying the storm was expected to increase in intensity into a severe typhoon by the time it made landfall along the southern coast from Guangdong to Hainan.
Early on Monday, the meteorological centre said Talim was located 375km south-east of Zhanjiang City in Guangdong province, moving at a speed of 20km per hour . The meteorological centre forecast gale force winds in the seas near the southern provinces and regions and exceptionally heavy rains of 250-280mm in the southwestern coast of Guangxi and northern Hainan Island.
Authorities in Hainan asked ships in nearby waters to return to port and ferry services between Hainan and Guangdong were suspended early on Sunday.
