🌪️ Get ready, young explorers! Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th storm of the season, is racing toward Hainan Province on the Chinese mainland, and authorities have activated a Level-IV emergency response to ramp up flood and typhoon defenses.
The Chinese mainland uses a four-tier emergency system, with Level I as the most serious. In parallel, weather warnings go from blue to yellow, orange, and red. Kajiki has already earned a yellow typhoon alert, signaling intensifying winds and heavy rains.
As of Saturday morning, the storm was spotted about 650 kilometers east of Sanya, moving westward at up to 25 km/h with growing strength. Meteorological experts expect Kajiki to brush or hit the southern coast of Hainan Island by Sunday evening.
Energy is surging from the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, which has sent a work team to join local crews in preparing for tidal surges, landslides, and flash floods. Heavy to torrential downpours are forecast from Saturday through Sunday across Hainan Island, the Xisha Islands, and the Zhongsha Islands.
Whether you live in or plan to visit Hainan, keep an eye on local updates, secure loose items, and prepare emergency kits. Let’s stay safe, stay informed, and ride out Kajiki together! ⚡️🌈
