Danas moved from Taiwan to China, diminishing into a tropical depression. However, it continues to unleash heavy rainfall, with forecasts predicting up to 17.2 inches in some areas. The storm is expected to bring an additional three inches of rain per hour in southern regions, particularly affecting Guangdong province, home to approximately 127 million people.
Authorities in Guangdong have warned of potential flash floods and landslides, urging preparedness for severe weather and wind gusts that could reach 73 miles per hour, akin to the strength of a Category 1 hurricane.
In Hong Kong, heavy rain has coincided with seasonal monsoon downpours, leading to the suspension of school activities for Friday. The territory’s weather service has issued a red rain warning, indicating intense rain rates exceeding 1.9 inches per hour.
Reports indicate wind gusts measuring 43 miles per hour have been detected on Sha Chau Island, prompting advisories for residents to remain indoors as the hazardous conditions are set to persist through Friday.
Authorities remain vigilant as Typhoon Danas impacts the region, reinforcing the need for community preparedness amid severe weather warnings.
