Typhoon Pulasan, the 14th storm of the year tracked by Chinese meteorologists, slammed into Shanghai’s Fengxian District late Thursday—marking its second landfall in China within hours 🌊. Packing winds of up to 23 meters per second, the typhoon first hit Zhejiang Province earlier that day before roaring northward.
This follows Typhoon Bebinca, which struck Shanghai’s Pudong District earlier this week 🌀. While Pulasan’s intensity is expected to weaken as it moves inland, authorities urge residents in affected areas to stay alert for heavy rains and potential flooding.
East China has faced back-to-back typhoons this month, testing emergency response systems. Local weather agencies are tracking the storm’s path 24/7, providing real-time updates via social media 📲. Travelers planning trips to Shanghai or Zhejiang this week are advised to check weather alerts before heading out!
