HAIKOU/GUANGZHOU, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) — South China's Hainan and Guangdong provinces have been put on high alert as strong winds and heavy rains are expected from Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th this year.
Hainan Province issued a Level 4 emergency response at 11 a.m. Saturday for possible flooding and strong winds in response to Typhoon Kajiki, the provincial disaster prevention, mitigation and relief commission said. Meanwhile, the Guangdong Provincial Flood, Drought and Typhoon Prevention Headquarters also issued a Level 4 emergency response.
Typhoon Kajiki formed from a tropical depression over the South China Sea on Saturday morning. At 8:00 a.m. Saturday, the epicenter of Typhoon Kajiki was located in the sea area about 770 km east of Sanya City, Hainan Province, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 18 meters per second and a minimum central pressure of at least 998 hectopascals.
Forecasters expect the typhoon to continue moving northwest at about 25 km/h (15 mph) as it gains strength. It is likely to make landfall or pass near the southern coast of Hainan Island around Sunday evening before heading toward central and northern coastal areas of Vietnam. -0-
