Typhoon Hagupit makes landfall in east China's Zhejiang
Hagupit, the fourth typhoon of this year, landed in east China's Zhejiang Province in the wee hours of Tuesday, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) said.
With a maximum wind force of 136.8 kph in the center, Hagupit hit Yueqing City at around 03:30 Tuesday, the NMC said.
Affected by the typhoon, the eastern and southern parts of Zhejiang Province, as well as the central and eastern parts of east China's Fujian Province were hit by heavy rain between 08:00 Monday and 03:00 Tuesday.
The NMC upgraded its typhoon alert at 18:00 Monday from yellow to orange, and renewed the alert at 06:00 Tuesday, based on a four-tier color-coded warning system for severe weather, with red being the most serious, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
It forecast that the typhoon will move northward at a speed of 20-25 kph and start to weaken, before curving northeast Wednesday morning toward the western coast of the Korean Peninsula.
