Typhoon Maliksi has officially become the first storm to make landfall in the Chinese mainland this year, roaring ashore in Guangdong Province’s Yangxi County just after midnight on June 1. With winds downgraded to tropical depression levels shortly after landfall, the storm is now unleashing heavy rains across southern China.
While Maliksi weakened rapidly, the Chinese Meteorological Administration warns of lingering impacts: Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces could see torrential rainfall through June 1. Coastal areas face the highest risk of flooding and disruptions. Residents are urged to stay alert for evacuation orders and avoid travel in affected zones.
Why it matters: As climate patterns shift, early-season typhoons like Maliksi test disaster preparedness. This storm also highlights how warming oceans could fuel more intense weather events—an urgent topic for young climate advocates globally.
Travelers planning trips to southeastern China this week should monitor weather updates closely. Pro tip: Check local advisories before heading to cities like Guangzhou or Fujian’s coastal hotspots!
