Typhoon Podul is doubling down on its Pacific rampage, with forecasters warning of a second landfall along China’s southeastern coast tonight. After battering the island of Taiwan earlier Wednesday, the storm is now barreling toward Fujian and Guangdong provinces, packing winds of up to 90 km/h 🌧️.
The National Meteorological Center (NMC) predicts the typhoon will hit between Xiamen and Shantou from late Wednesday through early Thursday. Coastal areas are bracing for heavy rains and potential flooding, with authorities urging residents to stock emergency kits and avoid nonessential travel 🚨.
This weather rollercoaster comes just weeks after Typhoon Khanun disrupted supply chains across East Asia. While Podul’s current path spares major tech hubs like Shenzhen, logistics experts warn shipping delays could ripple through regional ports 🚢.
Travelers take note: Multiple high-speed rail services in Fujian have been suspended, and Xiamen Airlines has canceled 30+ flights. Adventure seekers eyeing Guangdong’s beach towns might want to reschedule those plans 🏖️➡️📅.
We’ll be tracking Podul’s moves like it’s trending on TikTok – stay tuned for updates and keep those umbrellas handy! ☔
