Typhoon Saudel, which had previously made landfall in Zhejiang, China, has reformed over the South China Sea and is now threatening eastern and southern China with heavy to torrential rain over the next three days. Authorities have warned of potential floods, landslides, and mudslides, and several major airports in the region may experience flight disruptions.
The storm's revival is attributed to favorable underlying surface conditions, providing it with a fresh source of energy. As of Tuesday, Saudel was located about 345km south of Shanwei in southeastern Guangdong province, and heavy rain is forecast across multiple regions through Thursday. The National Meteorological Centre has issued a yellow rainstorm warning, urging people to take precautions against flash floods, landslides, and other hazards.
