GUANGZHOU (Xinhua): South China's Guangdong Province activated a level-IV wind emergency response at 10 am on Monday, with Typhoon Fung-wong having entered the South China Sea.

It is forecast that this typhoon is likely to significantly impact the coastal waters of Guangdong over the coming days. The super typhoon left the Philippines midday on Monday and is now heading to Taiwan.

According to Guangdong meteorological authorities, Typhoon Fung-wong, the 26th typhoon of 2025, is moving northwest at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, and entered the eastern part of the South China Sea on Monday.

It is expected that on Tuesday and Wednesday, localities on the eastern side of Guangdong will experience light to heavy rain due to the outer cloud systems of Typhoon Fung-wong. 

The Guangdong Provincial Flood, Drought, and Wind Control Headquarters has urged all relevant regions and departments to enhance forecasting and early warning systems, promptly activate emergency responses, and effectively carry out all precautionary measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
