Hey fam, Typhoon Kajiki (the 13th of the season!) is heading straight for Hainan and has prompted a Level-IV emergency response. Here’s the scoop and how you can stay ahead of the storm 👇
What’s happening?
The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters has deployed teams to Hainan. As of 11 a.m., Kajiki was about 650 km east of Sanya, moving west at 25 km/h and gaining strength. Officials have issued a yellow typhoon alert—so it’s time to get storm-ready!
Areas to watch:
Hainan Island (think Sanya’s beaches suddenly rocking with rain), the Xisha Islands and the Zhongsha Islands. Expect heavy to torrential downpours from Saturday through Sunday 🌧️.
Stay safe & connected:
- Download official weather apps or follow local channels for real-time updates 📲
- Keep your phone topped up and pack a power bank (beach selfies can wait!) 🔋
- Stock up on essentials: water, snacks, meds—think of it as mini staycation prep 🛒
- Use waterproof pouches for your gadgets (rain + phones = 😭)
- Check in with your crew via WeChat or WhatsApp and share updates 👨👩👧👦
Why it matters:
Modern forecasting—from satellites to AI models—helps us predict Kajiki’s path, but community spirit is just as crucial. Look out for neighbours, share verified updates in your group chats, and keep that South Asia–Southeast Asia togetherness vibe alive! ❤️
Stay safe, stay charged, and may your next beach pic be rain-free! 🌴🌞
