Chinese authorities have evacuated more than 340,000 people as Typhoon Noul moves toward southern China, stepping up emergency measures ahead of the storm. Officials have also suspended work in affected areas as part of broader efforts to reduce risk.
Transport has been heavily disrupted, with rail services halted in parts of southern China. The shutdowns reflect growing concern over the storm’s potential impact and the need to limit movement while conditions worsen.
In Hong Kong, flight cancellations were also announced, extending the effects of Typhoon Noul to one of Asia’s busiest travel and financial centers. The cancellations add to the broader regional disruption already caused by the approaching system.
The large-scale evacuations and transport suspensions show how seriously authorities are treating Typhoon Noul as it nears the coast. With residents moved to safer locations and key services paused, southern China is bracing for further weather-related disruption.
