Hey fam, ready to ride out Typhoon Kajiki? 🌪️ This year’s 13th typhoon is gearing up to bring strong winds and heavy rain to South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Hainan Province. Authorities have already sounded the alarm with Level-IV emergency responses — that’s a mid-tier alert in China’s 4-level system (Level I = highest ⚠️).
On the ground in Guangxi, the Maritime Safety Administration has dispatched extra patrol vessels in Beihai, Qinzhou, and Fangchenggang. Ships are being called back to port early, so fishermen and crews should check in ASAP. In Hainan, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters has also jumped in, sending a relief squad to help with flood prevention and disaster response.
Even Haikou, Hainan’s capital, is shutting down three major ports from 5 p.m. onwards this weekend. If you’ve got plans near the water, consider having a Plan B ready — safety first! 🛟
As of Saturday 8 a.m., Kajiki’s center sat about 770 km east of Sanya, rocking maximum winds of 18 m/s (~65 km/h) and a pressure of 998 hPa. The typhoon’s forecast path is west-northwest at ~25 km/h, likely brushing or making landfall on Hainan’s southern coast by Sunday evening. After that, it’s on track for Vietnam’s central and northern shores.
Key takeaways:
- Track updates via local weather apps 📱
- Secure loose items and stock up on essentials 🥤🍲
- Avoid coastal outings until the storm passes 🚫🏖️
Stay tuned, stay safe, and keep your friends in the loop — let’s weather this together! 🤝
