# Latest Guangzhou typhoon news - Historical Guangzhou typhoons and preparedness guide

**Guangzhou Typhoon Data at a Glance**Since 1945, the center tracks of 100 named typhoons have passed within 300 km of Guangzhou city center (Guangdong), averaging about 1.2 per year. The closest track to Guangzhou was Typhoon Lynn in 1987 (code 198719), passing about 5 km away. The strongest was Typhoon Viola in 1969 (code 196903), with a minimum central pressure of 896 hPa and maximum wind speed of 75 m/s.

Guangzhou lies near the inner Pearl River Estuary. Most typhoons make landfall along the southeastern coast and weaken before affecting Guangzhou, but severe typhoons such as Hato in 2017 and Mangkhut in 2018 can still bring violent winds, torrential rain, and severe urban flooding to Guangzhou, with widespread flight cancellations at Baiyun Airport a common impact.
