Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On the evening of July 24, Typhoon NOUL, the year's 12th typhoon, was steadily approaching the coastal areas of South China. As its circulation drew closer, the effects of wind and rain were gradually emerging in Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan, and other areas. Local meteorological departments have issued a succession of warnings, with comprehensive flood-control and typhoon-preparedness measures fully underway. South China's coastal areas have officially entered the critical typhoon-response period.
NOUL's Progress and Impact Assessment
As of the evening of July 24, the center of Typhoon NOUL was located at 19.2°N, 121.6°E, with a central pressure of 985 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 25 m/s, maintaining severe tropical storm intensity. It was moving west-northwest at 28 km/h.
According to the latest official forecast, NOUL is expected to make landfall along the coast between Chaozhou and Shenzhen, Guangdong, as early as the night of July 25. Affected by its extensive outer circulation and core circulation, eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian are forecast to experience torrential rain from July 25 to 27, with accumulated rainfall of 150 to 300 millimeters and localized totals reaching 400 to 450 millimeters. Eastern and southern Taiwan will also experience heavy to torrential rain, while the northern part of the island needs to remain alert to foehn winds. NOUL is expected to weaken to a tropical depression on the afternoon of July 28 and move further inland.
Public Concerns
As NOUL closes in, the public is closely concerned about its secondary impacts. In terms of transport, all rail services within Guangdong Province are expected to be suspended on July 26 as a safety precaution, while work stoppages and sailing suspensions have been launched in many parts of Guangdong and Fujian. In terms of meteorological hazard preparedness, localized heavy to torrential rain on Lanyu and the Hengchun Peninsula in Taiwan has raised concerns, and water authorities have fully deployed flood-control and heavy-rain response measures. Public awareness of the need to guard against urban waterlogging and geological hazards has also increased significantly.
Safety Precautions
During the typhoon's impact, residents should minimize outings and stay away from hazardous areas such as the coast, mountains, and river channels. Coastal fish-farm operators should reinforce fish rafts in advance, and relevant areas should remain alert to flash floods and geological hazards that may be triggered by heavy rainfall. When at home, close doors and windows securely and properly store outdoor objects that may be blown away.
Please closely monitor the latest meteorological information and follow the warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
