Flights, train services disrupted as typhoon hits Hainan Island

The local observatory estimated that another typhoon will enter the southeastern areas of the South China Sea around Thursday, again bringing strong winds and rainfall to Hainan through Sunday.

The meteorological service called for strong prevention measures against secondary disasters such as floods in urban and farmland areas and in rivers across the island.

Meanwhile, Nangka and a cold front were forecast to jointly deliver heavy rainfall to the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong, as well as the western part of the province between Tuesday and Thursday.
