Typhoon Mitag, the 17th typhoon of the year, made landfall in Guangdong Province, China, particularly affecting Shanwei City with strong winds of up to 25 m/s near its center. Authorities expect the typhoon to weaken gradually as it moves northwest at 10–15 km/h. In response to the threat, China’s State Flood Control initiated a Level-IV emergency to ensure preparedness and reduce potential damage. The event underlines the vulnerability of coastal provinces in China to seasonal typhoons and highlights the importance of early warning systems and effective disaster management to protect lives and infrastructure from severe weather events.
