Typhoon Shadel has re-emerged over the South China Sea and is now affecting the Pearl River basin, according to chinanews.com.cn. The storm, which had previously weakened, has regained strength and is bringing renewed rainfall to the region.
The resurgence of the typhoon has raised concerns about flooding in smaller rivers within the Pearl River system, chinanews.com.cn reports. Local authorities are monitoring the situation closely as the storm moves through the area, with heavy downpours expected to continue over the coming days.
The typhoon's return has also prompted a travel safety advisory from Jiangxi Province's cultural and tourism department, as reported by Phoenix News Jiangxi. The advisory warns of localized heavy rain and potential disruptions for travelers in affected areas.
Meteorological reports from news.cn indicate that while northern China is experiencing larger temperature differences between day and night, eastern and southern China face the risk of accumulated rainfall that could trigger disasters. The combination of ongoing precipitation and already saturated ground conditions increases the likelihood of flooding in some locations.
According to Sina Finance, the storm is expected to bring significant wind and rain to certain cities from September 1 through September 4. Thepaper.cn confirmed the storm's "revival," noting that Shadel has made a comeback after initially dissipating.
Residents in the Pearl River basin and surrounding areas should remain alert for further weather warnings and follow guidance from local authorities. The key concern in the coming days will be whether rainfall totals push smaller waterways past their banks, potentially affecting communities near rivers and low-lying areas.
