Typhoon Krovanh Reaches Guangdong Province

South China's Guangdong Province has issued sea warnings as Typhoon Krovanh arrived at Qianshan Town of Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, around 6:15 am on Monday after passing by Wenchang of the Hainan Island to the south.

The Guangdong Provincial Meteorological Observatory said that when the typhoon landed, the maximum wind force was monitored at 33 meters per second, and the lowest air pressure was 965 per 100 pascal. By 7 am, it was centered at 20.4 degrees north altitude and 110.3 degrees east longitude inside Xuwen County.

Meteorological experts predicted that Krovanh would continue to move northwestward and enter Beibu Gulf after sweeping through the Leizhou Peninsula in southern Guangdong by noon. It might also reach the border of Guangxi Province and Vietnam, they said.

Krovanh brought strong winds to the central and western areas of Guangdong as well as heavy rains in Zhanjiang City and other areas of southwestern Guangdong, said the observatory.

According to the forecast, there will be more torrential rains in the southwestern areas of Guangdong, and more strong winds in Leizhou Peninsula, the Qiongzhou Strait, sea waters to the west of Guangdong and around the estuary of the Pearl River.
