Southern China is preparing for Typhoon Noul, which is approaching the coast with strong winds and heavy rain. On Saturday, authorities suspended train services, closed schools, and evacuated residents in several areas. The National Meteorological Centre issued an orange typhoon alert, the second-highest level in a four-tier warning system. The storm was moving northwest across the South China Sea at about 20 kilometers per hour (12 mph). It is expected to make landfall between Hong Kong and Huilai county in eastern Guangdong province overnight. Wind speeds near the center could reach up to 151 kilometers per hour. Typhoon Noul is the latest in a series of storms to hit the region during the typhoon season, which typically runs from May to November. Officials urged residents to stay indoors and avoid coastal areas. Emergency response teams have been placed on standby. The cancellations and evacuations aim to minimize the impact of the storm and protect lives and property. Further updates are expected as the typhoon approaches.
